Abstract excerpt
The FKBP5 gene codes for the FK506-binding protein 51 (FKBP5), a co-chaperone of hsp90, which regulates glucocorticoid (GC) receptor sensitivity. The FKBP5 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP), rs1360780, has been found to modulate GC sensitivity in stress-related psychiatric disorders. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of rs1360780 on the treatment outcome of patients suffering from...
