Abstract
BackgroundMajor depressive disorder is a frequent mental illness, which is common in patients with type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes comorbid with depression has a worse prognosis. There are multiple risk factors for depression, and genetic studies have shown that gene polymorphism may play an important role in the pathogenesis of depression.MethodsA total of 874 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited for this study and divided into two groups: depressive group (DDM group, n = 234) and non-depressive group (NDDM group, n = 640). HTR1A gene polymorphisms (rs6295, rs878567, rs1800044) genotyping work was performed using a custom by design 48-Plex SNPscanTM Kit.ResultsThe rs6295, rs878567, and rs1800044 SNPs were not associated with type 2 diabetes comorbid with depression. Female sex, age, and FBG level increased the risk of depression in patients with type 2 diabetes.ConclusionHTR1A rs6295, rs878567, and rs1800044 SNPs polymorphism is not associated with type 2 diabetes comorbid with depression. Rather, female sex, age, and FBG level are risk factors for depression among patients with type 2 diabetes. Larger studies are needed to further confirm our findings.
