Association Study of a Monoamine Oxidase A Gene Promoter Polymorphism with Major Depressive Disorder and Antidepressant Response
TLDR
The findings suggest that the MAOA-uVNTR may be involved in the pathogenesis of MDD and the antidepressant therapeutic mechanisms in Chinese population, and that there may be a gender effect in this association.

Response to fluoxetine and serotonin 1A receptor (C-1019G) polymorphism in Taiwan Chinese major depressive disorder
TLDR
This study genotyped the HTR1A C-1019G polymorphism as well as polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (SERTPR), variable-number tandem-repeat polymorphism in intron 2 of the serotoninporter gene, serotonin 2A receptor, and G-protein beta3 subunit in 224 Chinese patients from southern Taiwan with major depression, who accepted 4-week fluoxetine treatment and therapeutic evaluation.

Association study of a brain‐derived neurotrophic‐factor genetic polymorphism and major depressive disorders, symptomatology, and antidepressant response
TLDR
A trend to improved 4‐week‐fluoxetine antidepressant response was demonstrated for heterozygous patients in comparison to homozygous analogs, suggesting the BDNF polymorphism investigated plays no major role in the pathogenesis of MDD.

Association study of the serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism and symptomatology and antidepressant response in major depressive disorders
TLDR
Patients with the l/l genotype had a significantly better response to SSRI (fluoxetine) when compared with s allele carriers, as evaluated on the basis of total and cluster depressive symptoms and Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-score percentage change.

Association Study of a Brain-Derived Neurotrophic-Factor Genetic Polymorphism and Mood Disorders, Age of Onset and Suicidal Behavior
TLDR
It seems reasonable to suggest that the positive association between BDNF gene Val66Met polymorphism and bipolar disorder has only been demonstrated for a Caucasian population but not for a Japanese analog or the authors' Chinese sample, and that this association is ethnicity dependent.

Do Seasons Have an Influence on the Incidence of Depression? The Use of an Internet Search Engine Query Data as a Proxy of Human Affect
TLDR
It is indicated that Internet searches for depression from people in higher latitudes are more vulnerable to seasonal change, whereas this phenomenon is obscured in tropical areas.

Cortical and Subcortical Abnormalities in Late-Onset Depression With History of Suicide Attempts Investigated With MRI and Voxel-Based Morphometry
TLDR
The results demonstrate that the development of suicidal behaviors in major depression is related to widespread but discrete volume reduction in several cortical and subcortical structures, fitting with the hypothesis that decreased cerebral volume in certain regions renders biological susceptibility to attempt suicide during depressive states.
