McMaster scientists have uncovered evidence that the gene FTO -- the major genetic contributor to obesity -- is associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. In other words, it's not just an obesity gene but a "happy gene" as well.

In these patients, they found the previously identified obesity predisposing genetic variant in FTO was associated with an eight per cent reduction in the risk of depression. They confirmed this finding by analyzing the genetic status of patients in three additional large international studies.
Meyre said the fact the obesity gene's same protective trend on depression was found in four different studies supports their conclusion. It is the "first evidence" that an FTO obesity gene is associated with protection against major depression, independent of its effect on body mass index, he said.

Sounds logical, but for the record, it's probably not that the gene itself makes you happy, but rather that the gene makes you eat more then the average person, and we know eating fight depressions.

The same is the case with lung-cancer genes for exsample. The gene doesn't cause cancer, but causes the person, if he indeed smokes, to smoke more and heavier tabbaco's or to have a more vile smoking behaviour, like smoking a pack a day.

The genes influences your behaviour and lifestyle, which lead to either happiness, depression, or whatever effect that gene gives.
