NCT ID NCT00998231

First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at 30 people—some with major depression and some without—to see if certain genes are turned on or off differently. Researchers checked blood samples over time to track how these gene changes might relate to the course of depression. The goal was to better understand the biology behind depression, not to test a new treatment.
