ABSTRACT Major depressive disorder (MDD) constitutes a major public health problem worldwide and affects women twice as frequently as men. Previous linkage studies have identified a 451 kb


region of 2q33–35 that exhibited significant evidence of linkage to Mood Disorders among women (but not men) from families with recurrent, early-onset MDD (RE-MDD), a severe and strongly


familial subtype of MDD. This 451 kb region includes _CREB1_, an attractive susceptibility gene for MDD and related disorders. Sequence variations in the _CREB1_ promoter and intron 8 have


been detected that cosegregate with Mood Disorders, or their absence, in women from these families, identifying _CREB1_ as a sex-limited susceptibility gene for unipolar Mood Disorders.


These findings implicate the cAMP signaling pathway in the pathophysiology of Mood Disorders and related conditions. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of
