Association of BDNF, HTR2A, TPH1, SLC6A4, and COMT polymorphisms with tDCS and escitalopram efficacy: ancillary analysis of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Objective: We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with neuroplasticity and activity of monoamine neurotransmitters, such as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, rs6265), the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4, rs25531), the tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1, rs1800532),...

Interaction between polymorphisms in SLC6A4 and BDNF on major depressive disorder in a sample of the argentinean population

The dysfunction in the serotoninergic neurotransmission has been classically associated with major depressive disorder (MDD); however, other pathways and processes seem to have a role in this illness, such as neurogenesis and related molecules: the Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) and the Apolipo...
