This study performs genome-wide association studies and genome-wide by environment interaction studies of depressive symptoms and stress in UK Biobank and Generation Scotland, identifying genetic and gene-environment interactions associated with depression.

This study validates the diathesis-stress model for depression by showing gene-environment interaction effects, particularly in women, using data from Generation Scotland.

The paper investigates the genetic and environmental contributions to stressful life events and their overlap with depression and neuroticism using a large family-based sample.
