✦ Synopsis

The serotonergic system is involved in both pathophysiology and treatment of mood disorders. In the present study we investigated the possible influence of the polymorphisms of the serotonin-1A and 2C receptor genes on the symptomatology of mood disorders. Eighty-four inpatients affected by mood disorders (72 bipolar and 12 major depressive disorder) were assessed by the Operational Criteria Checklist for Psychotic Illness to score their lifetime psychotic symptomatology. The subjects were also typed for 5HT1A and 5HT2C variants using polymerase chain reaction techniques. No association was found between 5HT2C and psychopathology as defined by the four symptomatologic factors used as phenotype definition (mania, depression, delusion, and disorganization) even when bipolar subjects were analyzed separately. Only one subject with the 5HT1A variant was observed. Genetic variation at the 5HT1A and 5HT2C receptor genes does not, therefore, play a major role in the pathogenesis of mood disorders symptomatology.

Previously, we reported an association of the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene with delusional symptomatology of major psychoses. However, DRD4 variants accounted for only 2% of the phenotypic variance, indicating that contributions from other genes were probable. The serotonin transporter gene is a
