| Sample Status |
Sample characteristics, inclusion and exclusion criteria, battery test, and the timing of the study have been described elsewhere along with the details related to the genotyping and the rational of the selection of the investigated variations (187 MDD patients,171 BD patients, and 288 controls) [Pae et al., 2007, 2008].Patients with any additional axis I disorders were excluded. |
| Technique |
genotyping |
| Statistical Method |
The multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method was employed to investigate the gene-gene interactions [Lou et al., 2007]. |
| Result Summary |
A significant predictive value of specific interactions between genotypes located in the investigated genes was found. We then report preliminary evidence that the epistasis between trace amine receptor 6 and heat shock protein 70 variations may compose a risk profile for major mood disorders. The level of statistical significance (P?0.001) and the testing balancing accuracy over 0.62 suggest a cautious optimism toward this result, although the possibility of false positivity warrants further analyses in independent samples. |
