Reference Tested Markers Statistical Values/Author Comments Result Category Comment on Study
Massat, I., 2007 Other variant: HTR2C_Cys23Ser The Ser23 allele may be involved as a specific susceptibility gene in EO-BP phenotype or act as a modifier factor, contributing to influence AAO of the BP phenotype. Positive Comment on Study
Oruc, L., 1997 (b) Other variant: 5-HTR2C_RFLP These results suggest that variations in these genes may be responsible for a minor increase in susceptibility for bipolar disorder in women. Negative Comment on Study
Gutierrez, B.,2001 Haplotype: [HTR2C_GT(12-18)/CT(4-5)] - (HTR2C_Cys23Ser)()
Other variant: HTR2C_GT(12-18)/CT(4-5)
In summary, although the present results make it unlikelythat the 5-HT2C receptor gene plays an important role in bipolar disorder. Negative Comment on Study
Vincent, J. B.,1999(a) Other variant: HTR2C_HinfI Polymorphism Statistically significant positive associations were found in original Study. Positive Comment on Study
Mazza, M.,2010 Haplotype: rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(C-C-C), rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(C-C-T), rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(C-T-C), rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(C-T-T), rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(G-C-C), rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(G-C-T), rs6318 - rs2428707 - rs4272555(G-T-C) In conclusion, our study confirms the involvement of the 5HTR2C gene in BD. Positive Comment on Study
Mohammadi, S., 2015 Other variant: 5-HT2C_Cys/Ser We found the lack of an association between 5-HT2C Cys/Ser variants and the risk of BID. Negative Comment on Study
Lerer, B.,2001 Other variant: HTR2C_Cys23Ser In conclusion, we have found that both major depression and bipolar disorder are associated with HT2CR ser23 allele carrier status and that this effect is demonstrable over and above considerable inter-population variability in the frequency of this allele.
