Journal ArticleDOI
Prefrontal cognition in schizophrenia and bipolar illness in relation to Val66Met polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene.
Janusz K. Rybakowski,Alina Borkowska,Maria Skibinska,Aleksandra Szczepankiewicz,Pawel Kapelski,Anna Leszczynska-Rodziewicz,Piotr M. Czerski,Joanna Hauser +7 more
TL;DR: An association of this polymorphism with performance on the N‐back test in schizophrenia and not in bipolar illness may suggest that in schizophrenia, the BDNF system may be connected with early phases of information processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prophylactic lithium response and polymorphism of the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene.
Janusz K. Rybakowski,Aleksandra Suwalska,Maria Skibinska,Aleksandra Szczepankiewicz,Anna Leszczynska-Rodziewicz,A. Permoda,Piotr M. Czerski,Joanna Hauser +7 more
TL;DR: The data obtained suggest that polymorphism of BDNF gene may be connected with a quality of lithium prophylaxis in bipolar patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
FKBP5 polymorphism is associated with major depression but not with bipolar disorder
Aleksandra Szczepankiewicz,Anna Leszczynska-Rodziewicz,Joanna Pawlak,Beata Narozna,Aleksandra Rajewska-Rager,Monika Wilkosc,Dorota Zaremba,Malgorzata Maciukiewicz,Joanna Twarowska-Hauser +8 more
TL;DR: Single markers and haplotypes of FKBP5 gene and the interaction with glucocorticoid receptor gene (NR3C1) may influence MDD predisposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association studies of the BDNF and the NTRK2 gene polymorphisms with prophylactic lithium response in bipolar patients.
Monika Dmitrzak-Weglarz,Janusz K. Rybakowski,Aleksandra Suwalska,Maria Skibinska,Anna Leszczynska-Rodziewicz,Aleksandra Szczepankiewicz,Joanna Hauser +6 more
TL;DR: A relationship between response to lithium prophylaxis and polymorphisms of two functionally connected genes: BDNF and NTRK2, in bipolar illness is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association study of the glycogen synthase kinase-3β gene polymorphism with prophylactic lithium response in bipolar patients
Aleksandra Szczepankiewicz,Janusz K. Rybakowski,Aleksandra Suwalska,Maria Skibinska,Anna Leszczynska-Rodziewicz,Monika Dmitrzak-Weglarz,Piotr M. Czerski,Joanna Hauser +7 more
TL;DR: The results obtained suggest that this polymorphism of glycogen synthase kinase-3β gene may not be related to the degree of prophylactic lithium response.
