Depression is more frequent among individuals exposed to traumatic events. Both trauma
exposure and depression are heritable. However, the relationship between these traits,
including the role of genetic risk factors, is complex and poorly understood. When modelling
trauma exposure as an environmental influence on depression, both gene-environment
correlations and gene-environment interactions have been observed. The UK Biobank
concurrently assessed Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and self-reported lifetime …

Following publication of this article, the authors noticed an error in Supplementary Table 1.
In the original Supplementary Table 1, one of the criteria for control participants was

been corrected to:'Report extensive recent symptoms of depression: less than 5 on summed
response (where “not at all”= 1 and “nearly every day”= 4) to recent'.
