TY - THES A1 - Eckert, Lisa T1 - Familienbasierte Assoziationsstudie des Kandidatengens des synaptosomal-assoziierten Proteins SNAP-25 bei ADHS T1 - Family-based association study of the candidate gene of the synaptosomal-associated protein SNAP-25 in ADHD N2 - Eine wesentliche Rolle hinsichtlich der Pathophysiologie der ADHS scheint der komplexe Prozess der Signaltransduktion an der neuronalen Synapse innezuhaben. Dieser wird bewerkstelligt durch ein komplexes Zusammenspiel sogenannter SNARE-Proteine, unter anderem dem synaptosomal-assoziiertem Protein SNAP-25. Gegenstand der vorliegenden Arbeit ist die Untersuchung potentiell-funktioneller Varianten des Kandidatengens SNAP-25 auf eine Assoziation mit der ADHS in einer deutschen Stichprobe. Bei den untersuchten Single-Nukleotid-Polymorphsimen handelt es sich dabei um SNP rs6077690 im Promotorbereich und SNP rs363006 in Intron 8 des Kandidatengens SNAP-25, deren Assoziation mit der ADHS in der Fachliteratur beschrieben ist. Desweiteren wurde ein bis lang nicht untersuchter SNP,rs6039769 in diese Studie miteinbezogen. N2 - This family based study was applied to detect preferential transmission of genetic variants of the candidate gene SNAP-25 in ADHD. As neurotransmission has been suggested to be a crucial factor in the pathophysiology of ADHD, genes encoding for synaptic proteins are supposed to be involved. One of the core proteins of this so called "SNARE-complex" is the synaptosomal-associated protein SNAP-25. According to meta-analyses it is one of the most validated candidate genes in ADHD. This study investigated the association of genetic variants of SNAP25, located in the putative promoter region SNP ( rs6077690 )of SNAP25 and a SNP ( rs363006 ) in intron 8, previously reported to be associated with ADHD. Furthermore another SNP( rs6039769 ), also located in the core promotor region, was checked for association with ADHD.

T1 - Replication and meta-analysis of TMEM132D gene variants in panic disorder JF - Translational Psychiatry N2 - A recent genome-wide association study in patients with panic disorder (PD) identified a risk haplotype consisting of two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs7309727 and rs11060369) located in intron 3 of TMEM132D to be associated with PD in three independent samples. Now we report a subsequent confirmation study using five additional PD case-control samples (n = 1670 cases and n 2266 controls) assembled as part of the Panic Disorder International Consortium (PanIC) study for a total of 2678 cases and 3262 controls in the analysis. In the new independent samples of European ancestry (EA), the association of rs7309727 and the risk haplotype rs7309727-rs11060369 was, indeed, replicated, with the strongest signal coming from patients with primary PD, that is, patients without major psychiatric comorbidities (n 1038 cases and n 2411 controls). This finding was paralleled by the results of the meta-analysis across all samples, in which the risk haplotype and rs7309727 reached P-levels of P = 1.4e-8 and P = 1.1e-8, respectively, when restricting the samples to individuals of EA with primary PD. In the Japanese sample no associations with PD could be found. The present results support the initial finding that TMEM132D gene contributes to genetic susceptibility for PD in individuals of EA. Our results also indicate that patient ascertainment and genetic background could be important sources of heterogeneity modifying this association signal in different populations.
