Genetic correlates of spirituality/religion and depression: A study in offspring and grandchildren at high and low familial risk for depression.

Abstract

The shared association of DRD2 by S/R and depression, generally found to be inversely related, calls for further research on their common physiological pathways, and the phenotypic expression of these pathways based upon use and environment. Prevention for offspring at high familial risk for depression might include support for the development of child spirituality.
