- cardiovascular disease explained at last: they partly develop from the same gene module
- ‘gene module’ consisting of 256 functionally related, co-expressed genes, which is part of the developmental program of both diseases.
- biomarkers for both depression and cardiovascular disease
- lifestyle factors common in patients with depression and which increase the risk of CVD, such as smoking, alcohol abuse, lack of exercise, and a poor diet.
- gene expression profile in the blood of people with depression and CVD and found 256 genes in a single gene module whose expression at levels higher or lower than average puts people at greater risk of both diseases
