POLIMORFISMOS GENÉTICOS E TRANSTORNOS GENERALIZADOS DE ANSIEDADE

Autoria SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

OBJETIVO:

O Transtorno de Ansiedade Generalizada (TAG) é uma doença caracterizada por sentimentos de ansiedade, medo, preocupação excessiva e tensão, frente as experiências de vida. Este estudo visa identificar polimorfismos genéticos associados com TAG, descritos na literatura científica.

MÉTODO:

Esta revisão utilizou o banco de dados PubMed/Medline, Web of Science e Scopus, usando as seguintes palavras-chave: "gene and generalized anxiety disorder", "SNP and generalized anxiety disorder" e "polymorphism and generalized anxiety disorder".

RESULTADOS:

Encontramos 10 polimorfismos que mostraram associação e 7 polimorfismos que não mostraram associação com TAG. Os genes NPY, BDNF, BLC2, DED2, RGS2, HTR1A, MAOA, ERS2 e 5-HTT mostraram polimorfismos associados ao transtorno. BDNF, ERS1 e TPH não mostraram tais associações.

CONCLUSÃO:

Esta revisão identificou uma variedade de polimorfismos genéticos, com resultados inconclusivos relativamente ao TAG, mostrando a necessidade de estudos genéticos voltados a este transtorno mental.
