Resumen

La disfunción en la neurotransmisión serotoninérgica ha sido clásicamente asociada con el trastorno depresivo mayor (TDM); sin embargo, otras vías y procesos parecerían tener un rol en esta enfermedad, como la neurogénesis y moléculas asociadas: el factor neurotrófico derivado del cerebro (BDNF) y la apoliproteína E (APOE). Existen reportes en los que se establecen asociaciones entre polimorfismos en estos genes y el TDM. El objetivo de nuestro trabajo fue analizar la posible asociación entre el TDM y polimorfismos en los genes HTR2A (receptor 5-hidroxitriptamina 2A), BDNF y APOE en una muestra de la población argentina previamente estudiada para 2 polimorfismos en el gen SLC6A4 (transportador soluble familia 6 miembro 4). Se estudiaron 5 polimorfismos (rs6311 y rs6313 en HTR2A; rs429358 y rs7412 en APOE; rs6265 en BDNF) en 95 pacientes con TDM y 107 controles no relacionados. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre grupos al analizar la asociación por regresión logística con un único marcador; cuando se analizó el posible efecto combinatorio de polimorfismos (incluyendo los previamente estudiados para el gen SCL6A4) usando un modelo dominante para los alelos de riesgo, los genotipos L/S_10/12_G/A (OR=3,57(95%CI=1,43-8,93); p=0,004, valor-p-ajustado=0,01) en SLC6A4 y BDNF y L/S_10/12_T/C_3/3_G/A en SLC6A4, HTR2A, APOE y BDNF (OR=5,99(95%CI=1,66-21,56); p=0,002, valor-p-ajustado=0,07), fueron más prevalentes en pacientes que controles (20%vs.6% y 15%vs.3% respectivamente). Si bien es necesario replicar estos hallazgos en una población más grande, nuestros resultados sugieren una posible interacción entre moléculas involucradas en la neurogénesis (BDNF y APOE), la neurotransmisión serotoninérgica (SLC6A4 y HTR2A) y la patogenia de la depresión mayor.
