Persönlichkeitsfaktoren als Risiko- und Krankheitsindikatoren der unipolaren Depression

1992

Pramorbiden Personlichkeitszugen wird in vielen Modellvorstellungen zur Atiologie affektiver Storungen eine zentrale Rolle zugewiesen. Die klassischen Bezugspunkte sind die psychoanalytische Theorie (Abraham 1925) und die Konstitutionstypologie (Kretschmer 1921); diese Ansatze sind in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten in vielfaltiger Weise fortentwickelt worden (vgl. die Ubersichtsarbeiten von Akiskal et al. 1983; von Zerssen 1982; Tolle 1987). Bestimmten Personlichkeitszugen bzw. Personlichkeitstypen wird dabei entweder die Rolle eines a) Risikofaktors, der uber ein theoriespezifisches pathogenetisches Bindeglied mit dem Auftreten der Erkrankung in Verbindung gebracht wird, oder b) die Rolle ein…

Identification of two novel polymorphisms and a rare deletion variant in the human dopamine D4 receptor gene

1995

We report two novel polymorphisms and a rare deletion variant in the human dopaine D4 receptor gene. The two polymorphisms are characterized by single base pair substitutions, namely a G-->C transversion changing codon 11 from GGG (encoding Gly) to CGG (encoding Arg) and a C-->T transition in position -11 upstream from the start codon. The Arg11 variant occurs at a frequency of about 1% and the C-->T transition at a frequency of about 7% in German control subjects (n = 148). Allele frequencies observed in patients suffering from schizophrenia (n = 256) and bipolar affective disorder (n = 99) were similar. The deletion variant is characterized by a 21 bp deletion affecting codons 36 to 42 co…
