“…Thus, at least one or a few genes and/or gene variants across this locus are expected to explain the pleiotropic or comorbid possibly unitarian linkage of the above‐mentioned phenotypes. One of these genes may be the PSMD9 gene as previously reported by us to be in linkage with several of the 12q24 linked phenotypes (T2D, depression, anxiety, hypertension, microvascular disease, retinopathy, hypercholesterolemia, overweight condition, and macrovascular disease) (Gragnoli, , , , , , , , , ; Gragnoli & Cronsell, ; Hao, Haas, Wu, & Gragnoli, ), and insomnia. Of note, PSMD9 has been reported by other groups as one of the top risk genes for MDD (Wong et al, , ) and SCZ (Lee et al, ).…”
