12476328	We found a significant increase in the Gbeta3 T allele (OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.17-2.2, P = 0.0035) and a marginal altered genotype distribution of the ACE ID polymorphism with decrease in the II genotypes (chi(2) = 6.43, df=3, P = 0.04) in the patients' group. Analysing the data for both genes we found that the combined actions of ACE and Gbeta3 genotypes accumulate in carriers of the ACE D allele (ID and DD) and Gbeta3 TT homozygotes with ID/DD-TT carriers showing a more than five-fold increase in risk for major depression (crude OR = 5.83, 95% CI 1.99-17.08, P = 0.0002).
