Abstract
Panic disorder is a widespread socially significant disease, which genetic nature is extremely poorly known. The gene of this neuropeptide (CCK) and its receptors (CCKAR, CCK2R) have being actively studied since the discovery of panicogenic properties of cholecystokinin. The purpose of this work was to estimate the degree of incidence of seven single nucleotide substitutions in the CCK, CCKAR and CCKBR genes in the population of patients diagnosed with panic disorder and a control population consisting of unexamined residents of the Moscow region. A significant increase in the degree of incidence of the T allele of the single nucleotide substitution 109C/T (rs1805000) in the CCKBR gene was identified in the patient population as compared with the controls, prompting suggestions that this substitution is involved in the aetiology of panic disorder. It also demonstrated the association of the combination of alleles -36T CCK, -128T CCKAR (rs11571842 and rs1800908, respectively) with the development of a panic disorder.
