In contrast to the above, the lack of an association of rs2513280 with depression was initially surprising since Davidson et al., [2011] had shown it to be in LD with another closely located SNP (rs2156464, R2 = 0.687) in the galanin promoter which has been associated with major depressive disorder in adults (Wray et al., 2010). Here, GAL is linked to depressive disorder.
