Abstract
Few pharmacogenetic studies on the use of genetic variations to predict antidepressant response in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have been published. This study expanded on the limited literature on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across previously identified putative susceptibility genes for OCD, by incorporating known functional regulatory elements for all genes of interest. We investigated 17 SNPs in 12 genes implicated in OCD risk in 206 European ancestry OCD patients with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) antidepressant response data, examining functional polymorphisms in remote regulatory regions. No association was observed between any regulatory region markers tested and drug response. We observed nominally significant associations between SNPs within the serotonin 1B receptor (5HT1B; SNP rs1778258), SLIT and NTRK-like family member 5 (SLITRK5; SNP rs10450811), and fas apoptotic inhibitory molecule 2 (FAIM2; SNP rs706795), with response to any SSRI, which did not survive multiple comparisons. This study supports a potential role for a number of OCD-associated risk genes in response to antidepressant treatment, warranting further investigation.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry is an international and multidisciplinary journal which aims to ensure the rapid publication of authoritative reviews and research papers dealing with experimental and clinical aspects of neuro-psychopharmacology and biological psychiatry. Issues of the journal are regularly devoted wholly in or in part to a topical subject.
Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry does not publish work on the actions of biological extracts unless the pharmacological active molecular substrate and/or specific receptor binding properties of the extract compounds are elucidated.
