P0308 - Serotonin receptor 1a, 2a, 2c and CONT SNPs and personality traits in suicide attempters and controls
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 16 April 2020
Abstract
Serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters have been extensively studied in association with temperamental and character traits.
In the present study we considered the association between 1A, 2A and 2C serotonin receptor and COMT SNPs and personality traits, as measured by the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), in a sample of suicide patients and controls. The SNPs considered were for 1A receptor rs1423691, rs878567 and rs6295, for 2A receptor rs643627, rs594242, rs6311 and rs6313, for 2C receptor rs547536, rs2192372, rs6318, rs2428707, rs4272555 and rs1801412, and for COMT rs737865, rs4680 and rs165599.
The sample was composed of three groups: two German samples, consisting of a healthy control group of 289 subjects (42.6% males, mean age: 45.2±14.9) and a psychiatric patient group of 111 suicide attempters (38.7% males, mean age: 39.2±13.6), and an Italian sub-sample, composed of 70 mood disorder patients (44.3% males, mean age: 42.9±14.4).
Controlling for sex, age and educational level, single markers and haplotypes were not or only marginally associated with personality dimensions.
Our study does not support 1A, 2A, 2C and COMT role on personality traits.
