Introduction

Andedonia is one of the core symptoms of depression. It is known that in case of depressed individuals experiencing anhedonia, the classical antidepressants are often ineffective, thus investigation of this symptom would be essential. Recent studies highlight the possible role of the glutamatergic system in anhedonia however, the genetic background of these assumptions is still unclear.

Objectives

Our goal was to investigate the possible associations between state-anhedonia and genetic variants from GRM5 (Glutamate Metabotropic Receptor 5) gene.

Methods

For our analysis we used data from the NewMood (New Molecules in Mood Disorders, LSHM-CT-2004-503474) project. Participants (n = 1820) aged between 18-60, were recruited in Budapest and in Manchester. All volunteers filled out mental-health questionnaires and provided DNA sample. Genotyping was performed by Illumina’s CoreExom PsychChip. Altogether 1282 variants from GRM5 gene survived the genetic quality control steps. State-anhedonia was measured with an item from the Brief Symptom Inventory questionnaire. We performed logistic regression using Plink 2.0. During our analyses, age, gender, population and the top10 principal components of the genome were added into the model as covariates. Correction for linkage-disequilibrium were performed with LDlink.

Results

After the correction of linkage-disequilibrium, three independent variables (r2<0.2), (rs1827603, rs6483520, rs35669869) yielded significant (p<0.05) results, both in additive and in dominant model. In case of recessive model, only rs11020880 showed significant (p<0.05) effect.

Conclusions

The detected nominally significant associations between state-anhedonia and genetic variants from GRM5 gene strengthen previous assumptions about the possible relationship between glutamatergic system and anhedonia.
