- Abstract
- Objective: Despite the close relationship between the functional polymorphism C(-1019) G (rs6295) of the serotonergic 1A receptor (5-HT1A) and mood, few studies have investigated the relationship between rs6295 and bipolar disorder. Aims: In this study, we aimed to investigate whether rs6295 is associated with clinical prognosis and treatment response in patients with bipolar I disorder acute manic episodes. Methods : One hundred twenty-eight patients with bipolar I disorder and one hundred sixty-eight healthy controls were recruited. Associations between patients with bipolar I disorder and healthy controls were compared. In addition, age at onset, number of admissions, and treatment response, including response rate, mean changes in manic symptoms, number of anti-manic agents and the total dosage of mood stabilizers for acute manic symptoms were compared between the rs6295 GG and CG + CC groups in patients with bipolar I disorder. We conducted a separate subgroup analysis according to gender. Results : There were no differences in frequency between patients and controls. In patients with bipolar disorder, clinical prognosis and treatment response were no different between GG and CG + CC groups. However, in a subgroup analysis according to gender, male, but not female, patients in the GG group had a longer duration of illness and a greater number of both previous episodes and psychiatric ward admissions than did the GC + CC group. Conclusions : Further studies should investigate the relationship between 5-HT1A polymorphisms and bipolar disorder in terms of mood episode and gender.
