Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a disabling mood disorder, and despite a known heritable component, a large meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies revealed no replicable genetic risk variants. Given prior evidence of heterogeneity by age at onset in MDD, we tested whether genome-wide significant risk variants for MDD could be identified in cases subdivided by age at onset.
3,869 European ancestry 50% oldest-onset cases, 5,051 European ancestry cases, 2,691 European ancestry controls, 6,828 unknown controls
