0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE 1) The age-related decrease in BDNF transcripts observed in control subjects corresponds with further age-related decreases in BDNF and BDNF-dependent gene expression in MDD subjects; 2) most MDD-related genes are frequently age-regulated in both MDD and control subjects; 3) the effects of MDD and age are positively correlated; 4) most genes that are age-dependent in control subjects display greater age effects in MDD subjects; and 5) the increased prevalence of age effects in MDD corresponds to similar trends in controls, rather than representing de novo age effects. 23570888 2013
