The association of polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter gene SLC6A4 with depression

OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship of polymorphic variants of the SLC6A4 gene with depression among people aged 25-44 years in Novosibirsk.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: Under the WHO program «MONICA-psychosocial (MOPSY)», a random representative sample of people aged 25-44 years from the population of the Oktyabrsky district of Novosibirsk (men n=725, mean age 43.4±0.4 years, response - 71.3%, women n=710, mean age 44.8±0.4 years, response - 72%). Depression was assessed using the MONICA-MOPSY psychosocial questionnaire. Every fourth respondent was examined for polymorphic variants of 5HTTLPR-VNTR SNP rs25531 A>G of the SLC6A4 gene. The study was carried out within the framework of the budget topic Reg. No. 122031700094-5.

RESULTS: The high level of depression among people aged 25-44 was 12.8% (for men 9.1%, for women - 15.92%); the average level of depression occurred in 24.5% of the population (among men in 21.24%, among women in 26.76%) (χ2=17.071, df=2, p<0.001). The most common genotype of the SLC6A4 gene, among people aged 25--4 years old in Novosibirsk, was SLA - 43.29%, LALA - 26.53% - in second place, SS - 17.87% - third, LALG - 6 genotypes were less represented genotypes. 74%, SLG - 4.18%, LGLG - 1.39%. Carrying the SLA genotype (53.3% and 63.6%) increased the chance of developing both the average level of depression by 2.359 (95% CI 1.278-4.355) times, and depression in general by 1.933 (95% CI 1.142-3.271) times, compared with persons carrying the LALA genotype (32.0% and 46.9%), (χ2=7.674, df=1, p<0.01 and χ2=6.095, df=1, p<0.05). Persons carrying the LALG genotype (54.5%) also had a higher chance of developing a mean level of depression RR=2.929 (95% CI 1.039-8.261), compared with carriers of the LALA genotype (32.0%) (χ2=4.326, df =1, p<0.05) (p<0.05).

CONCLUSION: Associative links between polymorphic variants of the SLC6A4 gene and depression have been established.
