Abstract excerpt

We examined the utility of DNA methylation profiles at the CpG island of SLC6A4 (DMS) as a diagnostic biomarker for major depression (MD). In addition, the relationship between DMS and the serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) allele, the severity of symptoms, number of early adversities, and therapeutic responses to antidepressants were examined. Genomic DNA was extracted from...
