Résumé : | Our study aims at replicating our previous finding of an association between COMT rs4680 G/A polymorphism and early onset major depression (MD). We included 462 MD, 147 bipolar disorders (BD) subjects and 295 healthy controls. We could partially replicate previous findings. In particular, rs4680 GG+AG genotypes were more represented in the subgroup of early onset MD patients (p=0.04). Additionally, we observed an association between rs737865 alleles and early onset MD (p=0.04). Rs4680 genotype was associated with early onset BD as well (p=0.01). In conclusion, we partially replicated our previous findings confirming a possible influence of COMT variants in MD and BD, particularly in early onset subjects, though not with the same risk genotypes. |
