Depression Genetics in Africa (DepGenAfrica): protocol for the first large-scale case-control study of major depressive disorder among continental Africans

2025-07-08

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background: </h4> Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a disabling condition that arises from the interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors. Most genetic studies of depression to date have failed to include continental African populations. As a result, risk-associated genetic variation among African populations remains undiscovered, and its potential specificity and interactions with environmental fact...
