Serotonin Transporter Gene Promoter Hypomethylation as a Predictor of Antidepressant Treatment Response in Major Depression: A Replication Study
24 Oct 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4; 5-HTT; SERT) is considered a prime candidate in pharmacogenetic research in major depressive disorder (MDD). Besides genetic variation, recent advances have spotlighted the involvement of epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation in predicting antidepressant treatment response in "pharmaco-epigenetic" approaches. In MDD, lower SLC6A4 promoter methylation has...
