✦ Synopsis

The serotonergic system is implicated in the etiology of mood disorders. Among those most recently discovered serotonin receptors, the relative abundance of serotonin type 6 receptor (5-HT 6 ) in the limbic area and the high affinity of some antidepressants to 5-HT 6 receptors suggest that this receptor might be involved in the pathogenesis of mood disorders. In a populationbased association study, we tested the hypothesis that the allelic variant (C267T) of the human 5-HT 6 gene confers susceptibility to mood disorders. We genotyped the 5-HT 6 receptor in 139 patients with mood disorders and 147 controls. The results demonstrated that there were no significant differences in genotype or allele frequencies between controls and all patients, or between controls and patients with bipolar disorders or major depression, separately.

Evidence for a bipolar disorder (BPD) susceptibility locus on chromosome 22q11 has been provided in several studies. One candidate gene that maps to this region is the G-protein ␣ subunit gene G␣z (GNAZ). We have identified a common silent polymorphism in GNAZ exon 2 by single strand conformation po
