A Critical Review of the First 10 Years of Candidate Gene-by-Environment Interaction Research in Psychiatry (2011, unknown): “(39) looking at 56 replication attempts found evidence that strongly supports the general hypothesis that 5HTTLPR moderates the relationship between stress and depression.”
Understanding resilience (2013, background): “linked to increased stress sensitivity and risk of developing depression upon stress exposure (Karg et al., 2011).”
How does social support enhance resilience in the trauma-exposed individual? (2015, background): “…a number of studies have reported that people who inherit a specific variation of the serotonin transporter gene, i.e., SS variation, are more likely to become depressed after stressful events compared with people who inherit other variants of the serotonin transporter gene (Karg et al. 2011).”
