Objective: We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with neuroplasticity and activity of monoamine neurotransmitters, such as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, rs6265), the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4, rs25531), the tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1, rs1800532), the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (HTR2A, rs6311, rs6313, rs7997012), and the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT, rs4680) genes, are associated with efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in major depression. Methods: Data from the Escitalopram vs. Electrical Current Therapy for Treating Depression Clinical Study (ELECT-TDCS) were used. Participants were antidepressant-free at baseline and presented with an acute, moderate-to-severe unipolar depressive episode. They were randomized to receive escitalopram/tDCS-sham (n=75), tDCS/placebo-pill (n=75), or placebo-pill/sham-tDCS (n=45). General linear models assessed the interaction between treatment group and allele-wise carriers. Additional analyses were performed for each group and each genotype separately. Results: Pairwise group comparisons (tDCS vs. placebo, tDCS vs. escitalopram, and escitalopram vs. placebo) did not identify alleles associated with depression improvement. In addition, exploratory analyses also did not identify any SNP unequivocally associated with improvement of depression in any treatment group. Conclusion: Larger, combined datasets are necessary to identify candidate genes for tDCS response.

Psychiatric disorders represent one of the most difficult diagnostic challenges, given their frequent mixed nature and intrinsic variability, as in bipolar disorders and depression. Patients misdiagnosed as depressed are often initially prescribed serotonergic antidepressants, a treatment that can exacerbate a previously unrecognized bipolar condition. Thanks to the use of the patient’s genomic profile, it is possible to recognize such risk and at the same time characterize specific genetic assets specifically associated with bipolar spectrum disorder, as well as with the individual response to the various therapeutic options. This provides the basis for molecular diagnosis and the definition of pharmacogenomic profiles, thus guiding therapeutic choices and allowing a safer and more effective use of psychotropic drugs. Here, we report the pharmacogenomics state of the art in bipolar disorders and suggest an algorithm for therapeutic regimen choice.

Briones1, Brenda B. Su2, Lewis P. Rubin1 and Chun Xu1* 1Texas Tech University Health Sciences Centre, Paul L. Foster School of Medicine 2College of Medicine and Health Sciences, UAE University, Department of Internal Medicine Abstract Major depressive disorder is a highly prevalent disease that is challenging to treat, often requiring medication and dose adjustments. Genetic factors play an important role in psychotropic medication responses. However, the translation of pharmacogenetics findings to clinical recommendations with regards to antidepressant responses is still in its early stages. We reviewed recent primary research articles, meta-analyses, and reviews on the pharmacogenetics of antidepressant treatment for major depressive disorder in different populations. We identified eight genes with likely associations with treatment responses and summarized genetic variants most likely to influence treatment responses. We determined the frequency of these variants in Caucasian, Asian, Hispanic, and African American populations. The genes are related to functions in drug metabolism, transport, signalling, stress response, and neuroplasticity. Clinical recommendations already exist for CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 cytochrome P450 drug metabolism genes. The other genes are: ABCB1 with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2032583 and rs2235015; FKBP5 with SNPs rs1360780, rs3800373, and rs4713916; GNB3 with SNP rs5443; BDNF with SNP rs6265; HTR2A with SNPs rs7997012 and rs6313; and SLC6A4 with polymorphisms 5-HTTLPR and STin2. There is significant variability of the frequencies of these polymorphisms in the different populations we reviewed.

Accumulating evidences suggested that per- sonality traits have significant genetic components. Although currently available data are not enough for proof, more and more genetic variants associated with personality traits are being discovered. In this paper, we review related studies of gene polymorphisms and human personality traits for psychiatric, behavioral, and substance-related disorders. First, we briefly describe the commonly-used self-reported temperament measures that define personality dimensions. Then, we summarize the characteristics of the candidate genes for personality traits, and investigate gene variants which have been suggested to be linked with personality traits for individuals with psychiatric, behavioral, and substance-related disorders.

A great number of studies often result with controversial and non-conclusive outputs. However, it was determined that each of the implicated candidates would independently have a minor effect on the susceptibility to that disease. Herein we report results from our replication study for association using 255 Bulgarian patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and 556 Bulgarian healthy controls. We have selected from the literatures 202 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 59 candidate genes, which previously were implicated in disease susceptibility, and we have genotyped them. Of the 183 SNPs successfully genotyped, only 1 SNP, rs6277 (C957T) in the DRD2 gene (P¼0.0010, odds ratio¼1.76), was considered to be significantly associated with schizophrenia after the replication study using independent sample sets. Our findings support one of the most widely considered hypotheses for schizophrenia etiology, the dopaminergic hypothesis.

Buccal cells were collected alterations in the brain systems that govern flight.4 and DNA extracted using established methods (see An association between PD and flight in humans Supplementary Information). is supported anecdotally by the tendency for PD The genotype distribution of rs6313 SNP in HTR2A sufferers to feel a strong urge to flee from the location was in Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium (w2 = 0.632, where a panic attack occurs.2 Here we provide the d.f.
