Journal ArticleDOI
Excess of High Activity Monoamine Oxidase A Gene Promoter Alleles in Female Patients with Panic Disorder
Jürgen Deckert,Marco Catalano,Yana V. Syagailo,M. Bosi,Olga Okladnova,Daniela Di Bella,Markus M. Nöthen,Piermario Maffei,Petra Franke,Jürgen Fritze,Wolfgang Maier,Peter Propping,Helmut Beckmann,Laura Bellodi,Klaus-Peter Lesch +14 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that increased monoamine oxidase A activity is a risk factor for panic disorder in female patients because the longer alleles (3a, 4 and 5) were more active than allele 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Subcortical Correlates of Craving in Recently Abstinent Alcoholic Patients
Frank Schneider,Ute Habel,Michael Wagner,Petra Franke,Jasmin B. Salloum,N. Jon Shah,Ivan Toni,Christian Sulzbach,Klaus Honig,Wolfgang Maier,Wolfgang Gaebel,Karl Zilles +11 more
TL;DR: This investigation points to state-dependent neurobiological correlates of cue-induced craving in alcoholic patients and suggests that these correlates can be influenced by therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genotype)phenotype relationship in female carriers of the premutation and full mutation of FMR-1
Petra Franke,Marion Leboyer,Michael Gänsicke,Olaf Weiffenbach,Valérie Biancalana,Pascale Cornillet-Lefebre,Marie Françoise Croquette,Ursula Froster,Sibylle G. Schwab,Fritz Poustka,Martin Hautzinger,Wolfgang Maier +11 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that social avoidance (expressed as social phobia or avoidant personality disorder) has been underestimated in previous studies of carriers with the FMR-1 full mutation or premutation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic mutation screening and association study of the A1 and A2a adenosine receptor genes in panic disorder suggest a contribution of the A2a gene to the development of disease.
Jürgen Deckert,Markus M. Nöthen,Petra Franke,Cynthia D. Delmo,Jürgen Fritze,Michael Knapp,Wolfgang Maier,Helmut Beckmann,Peter Propping +8 more
TL;DR: The findings lend further support to the hypothesis that the A2aAR gene, or a locus in linkage disequilibrium with it, confers susceptibility to panic disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of the functional V158M catechol- O -methyl-transferase polymorphism with panic disorder in women
Katharina Domschke,Christine M. Freitag,Gregor Kuhlenbäumer,Anja Schirmacher,Philipp G. Sand,Peter Nyhuis,Christian Jacob,Jürgen Fritze,Petra Franke,Marcella Rietschel,Henk S.P. Garritsen,Rolf Fimmers,Markus M. Nöthen,Klaus-Peter Lesch,Florian Stögbauer,Jürgen Deckert +15 more
TL;DR: The genotyping of a single nucleotide polymorphism in the coding region of the catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) gene supports a role of the 472G/A (V158M) COMT polymorphism or a nearby locus in the pathogenesis of panic disorder in women.
