Abstract:
BACKGROUND:In an earlier analysis of 73 subjects from this study, the reduced activity catechol O-methyltransferase variant was shown to be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder in men only. We hypothesized that the 5-HT2A promoter polymorphism, -1438G>A, previously associated with anorexia nervosa, would be more abundant in women with obsessive-compulsive disorder. METHODS:One hundred and one Caucasian obsessive-compulsive disorder patients (48 women, 53 men) and 138 control subjects (77 women, 61 men), were genotyped. DSM-III-R psychiatric diagnoses were assigned based on the SCID-I. RESULTS:As hypothesized, the -1438A allele frequency was higher in obsessive-compulsive disorder women (.57) than female control subjects (.42) (p =.015). The genotype frequencies were also significantly different (p =.020). Allele frequencies did not differ between male obsessive-compulsive disorder patients (.44) and male control subjects (.41). CCONSLUSIONS: We have found that a 5-HT2A promoter polymorphism is associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder in women but not in men, strengthening the argument that there may be fundamental gender differences in the genetic susceptibility to obsessive-compulsive disorder.
