Major Depression

Iosifescu, Smoller, et al.

Discussed the filtering of the patients from the MDD data mart to select more patients with MRI's to study the effect of SSRI's and SSRI resistance (in combination with a SNP study).

Jordan reviewed what it takes to get the right specificity and sensitivity and chewed over the issue of how in diseases of prevalence less than 5%, the danger to a GWAS may be more at the level of lack of specificity than lack of sensitivity (if as is the case in i2b2 we have a large enough pool of cases).
