The current study evaluated whether (a) THT+ as indexed by reported dispositional fearfulness mediates the relationship between fear disorders (when unaccompanied by depression) and ASP, and (b) depression moderates relations of THT+ and fear disorders with ASP.
In the present study we tested two polymorphisms in the alpha-2 macroglobulin gene, a 5 bp deletion at the 5' splice site of exon 18 and a G/A point mutation (V1000I) in exon 24, in a sample of 118 healthy, non demented controls and 238 consecutively recruited gerontopsychiatric patients, diagnosed as: Alzheimer's disease (N=88), mild cognitive impairment (N=32), subjective cognitive complaints (N=54) and depression/other psychiatric disorders (N=64).
In this work, we assessed the relationship between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of KAT1, KAT2 and IDO1 gene encoding, and the risk of depression development.
Our results provide promising evidence that MB-COMT specific genetic variation may represent an as yet unrecognized genetic factor that influences predisposition to depression amongst females.
The present study suggests that the C3435T polymorphism of the MDR1 gene affects the formation of a depression-prone personality trait in Japanese females.

182 subjects diagnosed with depression and treated with these drugs were clinically and therapeutically characterized and submitted to the quantification of drug/metabolite plasma concentrations and genotyping of ABCB1, CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP2D6 genes.
The Influence of C3435T Polymorphism of the ABCB1 Gene on Genetic Susceptibility to Depression and Treatment Response in Polish Population - Preliminary Report.
BACKGROUND The role of multidrug resistance 1 gene (MDR1 or ABCB1) polymorphism G2677T was studied in relation to paroxetine therapeutic efficacy and its side effects, as well as its association with selected demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with depressive disorder.
In this review, we summarize 32 studies investigating the question of whether ABCB1 polymorphisms predict clinical efficacy and/or tolerability of antidepressants in humans and evaluate the clinical application status of ABCB1 genotyping in depression treatment.
Our findings suggest that single nucleotide polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene may be indicators of the severity of depression and of the likely S-CIT treatment remission response in MDD.
