ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the possible role of tag single nucleotide polymorphisms in cAMP signaling pathway in patients with recurrent major depressive disorder in Chinese Han population.@*Methods@#1 030 patients with recurrent major depressive disorder according to the DSM-Ⅳ criteria were recruited as case group and 851 age- and gender- matched healthy volunteers were recruited as control group.The sequenom mass spectrometry method was adopted to explore the genotype and allele frequency distributions of tag single nucleotide polymorphisms of cAMP signaling pathway in the two groups.@*Results@#The differences of genotype and allele frequencies of the ADCY7 gene loci rs1064448 and HTR2A gene loci rs17068986 were significant between case group and control group(P<0.05). The difference of the genotype frequencies(492∶423∶112, 356∶401∶91; 538∶392∶94, 414∶371∶61; 24∶165∶838, 3∶150∶694; 219∶468∶337, 139∶418∶237; 153∶481∶393, 115∶446∶286; 53∶286∶688, 25∶296∶524)of the ADCY9 gene loci rs2531995, BDNF gene loci rs10835210, rs7124442, CREB1 gene loci 4675690, rs2551645 and the HTR2A gene loci rs3125 were significant in case-control group(P<0.05); while the rest tagSNPs had no statistical difference in genotype and allele distribution frequencies in case-control group(P>0.05). In gender-specific analyses, the differences of the genotype and allele frequencies of the ADCY7 gene loci rs106448 and CREB1 gene loci rs2551645 were significant in male case-control group(P<0.05); the differences of the genotype(195∶177∶49, 193∶423∶41; 221∶158∶42, 237∶201∶28; 83∶188∶148, 85∶237∶122; 24∶113∶284, 10∶176∶281)of the ADCY9 gene loci rs2531995, BDNF gene loci rs10835210, CREB1 gene loci rs4675690, and HTR2A gene loci rs3125 were significant in male case-control group(P<0.05); while the rest tagSNPs had no statistical difference in genotype and allele distribution frequencies in male case-control group(P>0.05). The differences of the genotype and allele frequencies of the ADCY7 gene loci rs1064448 and HTR2A gene loci rs17068986 were significant in female case-control group(P<0.05). The differences of the genotype(16∶94∶497, 1∶73∶308; 136∶280∶189, 54∶181∶115)of the BDNF gene loci rs7124442 and CREB1 gene loci rs4675690 were significant in female case-control group(P<0.05). The differences of the allele frequencies(840: 372, 493: 267) of the ADCY9 gene loci rs2531995 were significant in female case-control group(P<0.05), while the rest tagSNPs had no statistical difference in genotype and allele distribution frequencies in female case-control group(P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#The ADCY7 gene loci rs1064448 and CREB1 gene loci rs4675690 are associated with recurrent major depressive disorder in Chinese Han population.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the interactions between cAMP-response element-binding protein 1 (CREB 1) gene polymorphisms (rs889895,rs3770704,rs2551645,rs4675690) and brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene polymorphisms (rs7124442,rs 10835210) and the association with recurrent major depressive disorder.Methods The blood samples were taken from 768 recurrent major depressive disorder patients and 511 healthy controls.The DNA was isolated from blood samples and was detected by SNP Sequenom Mass Array analysis.Chi-square test was used to compare differences in the frequency distribution of alleles and genotype between depression and controls.The generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) method was used to analyze the gene-gene interaction.Binary logistic regression was used to verify the optimal model.Results After adjusting the factors of sex and age,the GMDR analysis showed rs10835210 was the optimal model.In this model,the testing balanced accuracy was 0.5319 and cross-validation consistency value was 10/10.And rs10835210 had a statistically significant effect on the risk of recurrent major depressive disorder(P=0.0107).There was no significant gene-gene interaction of five tag SNPs on recurrent major depressive disorder(P＞0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed the AC contributed to a significantly lower risk of recurrent major depressive disorder than did the CC (OR =0.772,95％ CI=0.608-0.980,P=0.033).It was failed to find the genetic polymorphism of CREB1 rs889895.Conclusion BDNF rs10835210 may be one of the biological markers of recurrent major depressive disorder.
