Genetic variation in the Major Histocompatibility Complex and association with depression

2018-11-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> The prevalence of depression is higher in individuals suffering from autoimmune diseases, but the mechanisms underlying the observed comorbidities are unknown. Epidemiological findings point to a bi-directional relationship - that depression increases the risk of developing an autoimmune disease, and vice-versa. Shared genetic etiology is a plausible explanation for the overlap between depress...
