Our aims were to prove this pathomechanism in humans.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We used a large population genetic database (UK Biobank, n\u2009=\u2009277\u2005501) to test whether variation in the CLDN5 gene could modulate effects of the IL6 gene variant in stress-induced depression. Three-way interaction of functional polymorphisms, rs885985 of CLDN5, and rs1800795 of IL6 with recent stressful life events were tested on current depressive symptoms. Analyses were performed in male and female populations as well.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The 3-way interaction including recent stress yielded highly significant results on current depressive symptoms in the UK Biobank sample, which was more pronounced in men and could be replicated on trend level in an independent cohort (NewMood, n = 1638).
