As someone who works on depression GWAS, this isn't the end of finding causal genes for depression, it's the beginning.
In the next few years we're going to see a waterfall of new rare variants linked to disease, all which have a much higher chance of causing functional change.
As WGS comes online for association studies it will both validate and more deeply explore the genetic nature of every disease. It is going to be mindblowing.
