results show the incidence of Postpartum Depression in the Chinese population to be 7.3%, with PDS characterized by increased serum 3-HydroxyKinurenine concentration and 3-HK/Kynurenine ratio, versus matched postpartum women without PDS. Furthermore, polymorphisms of Kynurenine Monooxygenase rs1053230 are significantly associated with the incidence of PDS.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
