Relationship between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and post-stroke depression

W. Y. Guo, Zhang, Z. H., Mu, J. L., Liu, D., Zhao, L., Yao, Z. Y., Song, J. G., Guo, W. Y., Zhang, Z. H., Mu, J. L., Liu, D., Zhao, L., Yao, Z. Y., and Song, J. G., “Relationship between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism and post-stroke depression”, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a mental illness characterized by subjective feelings of depression, cognitive dysfunction, and decreased interest. The serotoninergic system is involved in the pathogenesis of depressive disorders and is regulated by the serotonin transporter gene. The serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has been examined as a factor associated with depression and other mental disorders. This study was performed to explore the relationship between 5-HTTLPR and PSD in a Han Chinese population.

Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has become a serious health problem in many countries because of its poor outcome and worsening epidemic trend. Early identification of genetic risk factors and physiological indicators for stroke occurrence may help to reduce the incidence of stroke.
