Advance in relationship between receptor gene abnormality and depression / 药学学报

ABSTRACT

Depression, a chronic syndrome with low mood, pessimism, cognitive and sleep disorders, is characterized by high incidence, high suicide rate, low consultation and treatment rate. 40%-50% of the risk of depression comes from genes, so studying on gene abnormalities serves as an important part of the research in the internal causes of depression, among which the receptor gene abnormalities are crucial factors. The study of potential receptor gene loci is expected to be new target for the treatment of depression in the future, which can provide theoretical basis for the early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of depression.
