rs1386493

Allelic: .003

Suicides or major depression Ethnicity: Caucasian

Haghighi 2008

 

Cases: 82 patients with major depression or suicide (n:4)
g.22897A>G Allelic: .05 80 controls without major depression or suicide
 

Haplotypic(rs1386493,

g.22897A>G, rs1386494):

Notes: the two variants associated with major depression and not with suicide alone


rs4131347
(−C8347G)

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 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; marginal association between TH and severe suicidal behaviour
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.

Suicide attempts

Ethnicity: German

ZIll, 2007

Suicide attempts Ethnicity: Han Chinese, Shadong Ke, 2006
Cases: depressed suicide attempters: N: 102 (F: 61); mean age: 33.01 ±12.12
Controls: non-attempting depressed patients: N:123 (F:54);mean age: 33.26±14.36

Suicide attempts or suicidal behavior Cases: schizophrenic patients [n: 253 (F: 33%); mean age: 41±10.7] including 83 suicide attempters and 157 ideators/attempters) De Luca, 2005

Haplotypic: ns
hCV245410 Allelic: ns Suicide attempts or suicidal behavior Cases: Bipolar patients (including 86 suicide attempters and 267 ideators): n:336 (from 305 families): F:62%, mean age: 35±10 De Luca 2004
hCV8376173 Allelic: ns Notes: suicidality assessed on a quantitative scale from suicidal thoughts, through ideation, and plans, to 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 for rs4641527 had lower reward dependence but there was no support for mediation by impulsive aggressive behaviors; Bonferroni-corrected

Suicide Cases: suicide completers (n:22; F:11) with schizophrenia (n:6) or bipolar disorder (n:16): mean age: 42.73±9.90

8396GC Genotypic:ns Controls: individuals with schizophrenia (n: 29) and bipolar patients (n: 18) dying from non-suicide-related causes (F: 15): mean age: 44.98±9.37

10 SNPs Allelic: +, Rs1386494(G), p=.038 Suicide Ethnicity: Caucasian, Southern Germany Zill, 2004
Cases: suicide victims: F: 72; M: 191; mean age:47.1±18.1; 217 used violent means;
Healthy general population controls matched for ethnicity: M: 138, F:128; 39.7±15.3;
Notes: tested 10 SNPs; found 3 major haplotypes; haplotypic associations with suicide disappeared after Bonferoni correction
