This case-control study found an association between Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and a single nucleotide polymorphism (intronic rs2072621) of the gene encoding GPR50 (an orphan member of the G protein-coupled melatonin receptor subfamily) in females. This may represent a gender-specific risk factor and a molecular link between melatonin and SAD.
本病例对照研究发现,女性季节性情感障碍(SAD)与编码 G 蛋白偶联褪黑素受体亚家族孤儿成员 GPR50 的基因的单核苷酸多态性(内含子 rs2072621)之间存在关联。这可能代表了一种性别特异性的风险因素,以及褪黑素和 SAD 之间的分子联系。
