β2 microglobulin, HLA-A and Notch4 were all expressed in a pattern where inflammatory illness was associated with increased expression in controls but not in subjects with schizophrenia.

(1) A subgroup of depressed patients have documented circadian abnormalities in mood, sleep, temperature and neuroendocrine secretion; (2) It is also suggested that seasonal affective disorder (SAD) patients may show an abnormality in their ability to shift their daily circadian rhythms in response to seasonal light changes; (3) The dramatic improvements in some depressions in response to three treatment modalities which manipulate circadian rhythms suggest that circadian abnormalities reported in patients may constitute a core component of the pathophysiology in depression; (4) Mutations in clock genes have been discovered that accelerate or delay circadian cycles; (5) It is hypothesized that 24-hour rhythm abnormalities in major depression and SAD may be due to altered clock genes.
343 subjects (Caucasian, African-American, Hispanic) presenting with a Major Depressive Episode were genotyped for polymorphisms A218C in intron 7 and A-6526G in the promoter region of TPH1, and monitored for suicide attempts for up to one year.
94 patients of Caucasian descent with major depressive disorder (f = 61; DSM-IV) were analyzed for DNA methylation status at 43 MAO-A CpG sites via direct sequencing of sodium bisulfite treated DNA extracted from blood cells.

Melancholic depression was associated with the 5-HTTLPR long (l) allele and atypical depression with the 5-HTTLPR s-allele (two-sided Fisher's exact test: genotype distribution: P=0.0038; allele frequencies: P=0.007).
Heavy drinking was associated with an increased risk for CHD in black men with the PON1 QQ and CETP GG genotypes (PON1 hazard rate ratio [HRR]=17.3, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.76-170.2; CETP HRR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.01-4.91).
Depression and psychotic symptoms that occur in a large proportion of AD patients have been associated with monoamine genes coding for metabolic enzymes (COMT), transporters (5-HTTLPR) and receptors (DRD1; DRD3).
