Primary outcomePrimary: Phenotype and Genotype Based on Presence of Interferon Induced MDD. — 19; 114 participants — p=>0.05
Summary
The purpose of this study is to identify predictors and associated biochemical markers of interferon-induced depression. It is hypothesized that genetic variation in genes related to the serotonergic system may predict vulnerability to interferon-induced depression.
