Psychiatric disorders are complex phenotypes and, despite decades of research, their biological bases are still unclear. The heritability of psychiatric disorders estimated by twin studies is high (from 30 to 80%), however, genetic variants explain less than half of this heritability, suggesting the influence of other biological aspects on the etiology of these disorders. So, the study of…
Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is characterized by dysphoria, poor motivation, cognitive impairments and anhedonia. As the lifetime prevalence is 16.2% and recurrent course is common, MDD is the leading cause of disability among the mental disorders. However, little is known for certain about its etiology. Genetic epidemiological studies have suggested that subtypes of MDD might have hig…
Psychiatric disorders are genetically complex traits. Despite decades of research, there is little certainty about their biological basis. The study of basic dimensions of functioning (psychiatric symptoms) instead of psychiatric diagnosis could help to better understand the nature of these disorders. In the present study, we aim: 1) to compare genome-wide DNA methylation in peripheral bl…
