Description

The authors explicitly state that replication studies are essential, as this is the first human genetic evidence linking KCNK2 to MDD. Without replication, the clinical utility and generalizability remain uncertain.

Gap type: open_question Source paper: Support for the involvement of the KCNK2 gene in major depressive disorder and response to antidepressant treatment. (None, None, PMID:19741570)
