| Sample Status |
The probands were recruited from 1996 to 2005 at the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at of the University of Wurzburg. The sample encompassed 248 cases (154 males) with recurrent depression and bipolar disorder. Patients also fulfilled the more restricted criteria of monopolar depression (n=57), and manic depression (n=191) in differentiated psychopathology. |
| Technique |
genotyping |
| Statistical Method |
Fisher's exact test and Armitage's trend test were used to compare allelic and genotypic distributions between cases and controls. Haplotype frequencies and global association were calculated with the program FAMHAP. For quantitative traits, they performed the Kruskal-Wallis test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for single marker analysis and for haplotypes by using haplotype trend regression (HTR). Overall p-values were corrected for multiple testing, the statistics on allele and genotype distribution were uncorrected. |
| Result Summary |
Allele and genotype frequencies of rs4713916, rs1360780 and rs3800373 were not significantly different between cases and controls. Two three-locus haplotypes, G-C-T and A-T-G, accounted for 86.2% in controls. Odds ratios were not increased between cases and controls, except the rare haplotype G-C-G (OR 6.81), representing 2.1% of cases and 0.3% of controls. The frequency of rs4713916AG in patients deviated from expected Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotype AA at rs4713916 in monopolar depression (P = 0.011), and the two-locus haplotype rs1360780T-rs3800373T in the total sample (overall P = 0.045) were nominally associated with longer continuance of disease. Their data do not support a significant genetic contribution of FKBP5 polymorphisms and haplotypes to affective psychosis, and the findings are inconclusive regarding their contribution to disease-related traits. |
