Trace Elements Genetics: A Potential Role in Treatment‐Resistant Major Psychoses and Related Traits?
ABSTRACT Trace elements are pivotal to key biological processes, with possible effects on psychopathology. We investigated the hypothesis of shared genetic factors between trace elements levels, treatment resistance and related traits. We used genome‐wide summary statistics for trace elements blood concentration, treatment‐resistant depression (TRD ...

Helicobacter pylori and cobalamin deficiency
We have read with interest Maktouf et al.’s letter about the etiological role of deficiencies of cobalamin or folate in megaloblastic anemia. In this large prospective series, they investigated 478 patients with megaloblastic changes in bone marrow smears and reported the demographic, biological and clinical findings in cobalamin-deficient patients and
