<b>Background:</b> Several studies have revealed significant associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the cannabinoid receptor 1 (<i>CNR1</i>) gene and a broad spectrum of psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and schizophrenia.
<b>Conclusion:</b> This study provides the first evidence of abnormalities of <i>PVALB</i> promoter methylation in MDD and its correlation with MDD severity indicating a role for epigenetics in this psychiatric disorder.
<b>Materials and Methods:</b> We screened a cohort of patients with major mental disorders (n = 104) and a group of healthy controls (n = 130) for TAAR1 variants.
<b>Results</b>: The top SNP rs2049161 (<i>P</i> = 5.08e-7) involved gene <i>DLGAP1</i> and the top gene <i>CADPS2</i> in the gene-based analysis resulted in much literature evidence of associations with psychiatric disorders.

<i>Surveillance:</i> Regular monitoring of plasma Phe, Tyr, and plasma amino acid concentrations in individuals with classic PKU; regular assessment of growth and micronutrient needs; assessment of developmental progress and screening for mental illness at every visit.
16p13.3 region also contains GRIN2A gene encoding N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor-2A and SSTR5 (Somatostatin Receptor-5), again involving in mental disorders.

2-(Phosphonomethyl)-pentanedioic acid (2-PMPA) is a potent (IC<sub>50</sub> = 300 pM) and selective inhibitor of glutamate carboxypeptidase II (GCPII) with efficacy in multiple neurological and psychiatric disease preclinical models and more recently in models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and cancer.
Psychiatric disorders are correlated with elevated levels of CRP, pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6, IL-1β and TNFα) and anti-inflammatory factors (TGF β, IL-10, sIL-2, IL-1RA).
