Evidence of an association between the vasopressin V1b receptor gene (AVPR1B) and childhood-onset mood disorders.
CONTEXT Disturbances in stress hormones have been implicated in mood disorders, in particular in the hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. Arginine vasopressin (AVP) plays a crucial role in modulating the HPA axis under stress and does so through a G protein-coupled receptor, vasopressin V1b receptor (AVPR1b). OBJECTIVE To determine if genetic variation in AVPR1B cou...
متن کاملAssociation study between the serotonin 1A receptor (HTR1A) gene and neuroticism, major depression, and anxiety disorders.
The serotonin neurotransmitter system in general, and the serotonin 1A receptor in particular, has been broadly implicated in the pathophysiology of mood and anxiety disorders, although the results of genetic association studies have been mixed. In this study, we examined the serotonin 1A receptor gene, HTR1A, for its association with shared genetic risk across a range of anxiety and depression...
متن کاملAssociation between the Melanocortin-4 Receptor (MC4R) Gene Polymorphisms and Growth Trait in Sumba Ongole Cattle
Melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) gene has been known as a candidate gene for growth traits in livestock. This research was aimed to identify the polymorphism of MC4R gene and its association with growth traits in Sumba Ongole (SO) cattle. The growth traits data consist of body weight and body size. Eighty four blood samples were collected and used for DNA isolation. The...
متن کاملAssociation study of the estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) and childhood-onset mood disorders.
Depressive disorders are heterogeneous psychiatric disorders involving deficits in cognitive, psychomotor, and emotional processing. Depressive disorders have a significant genetic component, with severe, recurrent and early-onset forms demonstrating elevated heritability. In this study we genotyped eleven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning the estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) i...
متن کاملNarcolepsy and the Hypocretin Receptor 2 Gene
hund narcoleptics. Similar analysis of cDNA from narco-leptic Labradors showed a 123 bp deletion of exon 6 and a G to A transition in the 5Ј splice junction consensus sequence. Thus, the genetic abnormality in Doberman Human narcolepsy, a chronic disorder that occurs in narcoleptics differs from that in Labrador narcoleptics, about 1 in 3000 individuals, is characterized by (1) exces-but both i...
