Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Kishi, T.,2012(b) SNP: rs3783641, rs8007267, rs841
Haplotype: rs8007267 - rs378364 - rs841(C-T-C), rs8007267 - rs378364 - rs841(C-T-T), rs8007267 - rs378364 - rs841(T-A-C)
Results suggest that GCH1 may predict response to SSRI in MDD in the Japanese population. Nevertheless, a replication study using larger samples may be required for conclusive results, since our sample size was small. Negative Comment on Study
Kealey, C.,2005 Other variant: GCH1_-959G/A It provides preliminary support for an association between a novel GCHI variant and BPD within the Irish population. Positive Comment on Study
