*Interaction D (disease status)×SSRI×M (maternal genotype) is three way interaction for maternal genotype (see genotype×SSRI model in methods).

†Counts and percentages of maternal genotypes computed on mothers’ genotypes only; counts and percentages of infant genotypes computed on infants’ genotypes only.

‡Bayesian false discovery probability; <0.8 indicates significance.
