Allelic: ns
Genotypic: ns
Suicide attempts

Ethnicity: Caucasian [N=529 (94%)], Asian [N=26 (4.6%)], or multiple ethnic identities [N=8 (1.4%)]

Mann 2007
Cases: bipolar [n:109, M:61%, ages: 22-90] and major depressive patients [n:324], including 187 suicide attempters
Healthy controls: bipolar [n:130, M:61%, ages: 22-90]
Genotypic:+,CG, p<.001, in major depressive patients with childhood abuse Suicidal ideas Notes: CG genotype interaction with childhood abuse also related to increased depression and lifetime impulsivity scores; no association with depressive disorders or CSF levels of 5-HIAA, HVA, or MHPG

Allelic: ns Suicidal behaviour severity Cases: 336 (F:62%) bipolar patients from 305 nuclear families (mean age: 35.36± 10.37 SD), including 267 patients with histories of suicide ideas or attempts De Luca, 2007
Notes: suicidality assessed quantitatively and coded as follows: 0 = absence of suicide/death thoughts, 1 = thoughts of death, 2 = suicide ideation, 3 = suicide plan, 4 = suicide attempt;
rs1386494 Allelic: ns Suicide attempts Cases: 2018 bipolar patients and families (F:64%, including 548 suicide attempters): Sample 1: N:1405; Sample 2: N: 613; Lopez, 2007
rs1007023 Allelic: ns
rs9325202 Allelic: ns Notes: analyses done in each sample separately and together. Observed the same haplotypic association with bipolar disorder suggesting that this haplotype is not an independent risk factor for suicide attempts.

14 SNPs Genotypic: +, rs4448731(TT), OR 5.3 95% CI 1.7-16.4 Suicide Ethnicity: French Canadian Lopez de Lara, 2007
Cases: 259 depressed subjects, including 114 depressed suicides (F:16; mean age: 41.6±14.6)
Genotypic:+, rs4641527(GG), OR 5.2 95% CI 1.7-16.0 Controls: 145 depressed nonsuicidal patients (F:21, mean age: 41.4±10.2)
Haplotypic: multiple Notes: alleles T, G, G, and C of SNPs rs4448731, rs6582071, rs4641527, and rs1386497, respectively, were overrepresented in depressed suicides, as were homozygotes for the T allele of rs4448731, the G allele of rs4641527, and carriers of the C allele of rs1386497. GG homozygotes ( rs4641527) had lower reward dependence but there was no support for mediation by impulsive aggressive behaviors; Bonferroni-corrected
