T1 - Serotonin transporter genetic variation and antidepressant response and tolerability: a systematic review and meta-analysis JF - Journal of Personalized Medicine N2 - Antidepressants are used to treat several psychiatric disorders; however, a large proportion of patients do not respond to their first antidepressant therapy and often experience adverse drug reactions (ADR). A common insertion–deletion polymorphism in the promoter region (5-HTTLPR) of the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4) gene has been frequently investigated for its association with antidepressant outcomes. Here, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess 5-HTTLPR associations with antidepressants: (1) response in psychiatric disorders other than major depressive disorder (MDD) and (2) tolerability across all psychiatric disorders. Literature searches were performed up to January 2021, yielding 82 studies that met inclusion criteria, and 16 of these studies were included in the meta-analyses. Carriers of the 5-HTTLPR LL or LS genotypes were more likely to respond to antidepressant therapy, compared to the SS carriers in the total and European ancestry-only study populations. Long (L) allele carriers taking selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) reported fewer ADRs relative to short/short (SS) carriers. European L carriers taking SSRIs had lower ADR rates than S carriers. These results suggest the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism may serve as a marker for antidepressant outcomes in psychiatric disorders and may be particularly relevant to SSRI treatment among individuals of European descent.

However, the results are mixed and there is a large interindividual variability within and across studies. Given that training-related performance changes would require modification, growth or differentiation at the cellular and synaptic level in the brain, research on critical moderators of brain plasticity potentially explaining such changes is needed. In the present study, a pre-post-follow-up design (N = 122) and a 3-weeks training of two response inhibition tasks (Go/NoGo and Stop-Signal) was employed and genetic variation (Val66Met) in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) promoting differentiation and activity-dependent synaptic plasticity was examined. Because Serotonin (5-HT) signaling and the interplay of BDNF and 5-HT are known to critically mediate brain plasticity, genetic variation in the 5-HTT gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) was also addressed. The overall results show that the kind of training (i.e., adaptive vs. non-adaptive) did not evoke genotype-dependent differences. However, in the Go/NoGo task, better inhibition performance (lower commission errors) were observed for BDNF Val/Val genotype carriers compared to Met-allele ones supporting similar findings from other cognitive tasks. Additionally, a gene-gene interaction suggests a more impulsive response pattern (faster responses accompanied by higher commission error rates) in homozygous l-allele carriers relative to those with the s-allele of 5-HTTLPR. This, however, is true only in the presence of the Met-allele of BDNF, while the Val/Val genotype seems to compensate for such non-adaptive responding. Intriguingly, similar results were obtained for the Stop-Signal task. Here, differences emerged at post-testing, while no differences were observed at T1. In sum, although no genotype-dependent differences between the relevant training groups emerged suggesting no changes in the trained inhibition function, the observed genotype-dependent performance changes from pre- to post measurement may reflect rapid learning or memory effects linked to BDNF and 5-HTTLPR. In line with ample evidence on BDNF and BDNF-5-HT system interactions to induce (rapid) plasticity especially in hippocampal regions and in response to environmental demands, the findings may reflect genotype-dependent differences in the acquisition and consolidation of task-relevant information, thereby facilitating a more adaptive responding to task-specific requirements.

Untersucht wurde die Interaktion zwischen der allelischen Variationen des 5-HTTLPR-Polymorphismus und Lebensereignissen, die mit Hilfe des Life History Calendar von Caspi bei 123 aADHS-Patienten erfasst wurden. Die Teilnehmer wurden über Lebenserfahrungen bis zu ihrem 21. Lebensjahr genau befragt, die so in additiver Wertung in den Life-Event-Effekt einflossen. Zudem wurden mit Hilfe der Persönlichkeitstests TPQ und NEO-PI-R Punktescores erhoben. Eine Marker*Life Event-Interaktion wurde nachgewiesen. Bei aAHDS-Patienten, die die homozygot lange Variante des 5-HTTLPR-Polymorphismus tragen, ist eine höhere Zahl an erlebten Life Events mit einem größerem Risiko assoziiert, eine Cluster-B-Persönlichkeitsstörung zu entwickeln. Eine geringere Anzahl an Life Events ist assoziiert mit einem geringerem Risiko für Persönlichkeitsstörungen. N2 - Dysfunctions of the serotonergic neurotransmitter system are discussed in the etiology of various mental diseases. We investigated the interaction between the allelic variation of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and life events that were assessed with the aid of a life history calendar at 123 adult ADHD-patients. The participants were questioned about life events up to the age of 21. Moreover personality dimensions were assessed by Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) and NEO-Personality Inventory. A marker * Life Event interaction was detected. In aADHD-patients who carry the homozygous long variant of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism, a higher number of experienced life events is associated with an increased risk of cluster B personality disorder, smaller number of life events is associated with a lower risk of cluster B personality disorders.

Die Versuche wurden an 54 Männern/Frauen durchgeführt, die nach ihren Genotyp (nach COM sowie 5-HTTLPR) ausgesucht wurden. Es wurde untersucht, ob sich elekrtophysiologisch Unterschiede zwischen den einzelnen Genotypen des COMT/ 5-HTTLPR ergeben, die eine genetische Prädisposition für Erkrankungen aus dem psychiatrischen Formenkreis, die diesen Genen zugesprochen wird, bestätigt.
