Journal ArticleDOI
Serotonin transporter polymorphisms and persistent, pervasive childhood aggression.
Joseph H. Beitchman,Lidia Baldassarra,Helene Mik,Vincenzo De Luca,Nicole King,Danielle Bender,Sahar Ehtesham,James L. Kennedy +7 more
TL;DR: This is the first study to report a significant association between the 5-HTTLPR gene and childhood aggression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Orexin System: The Key for a Healthy Life
Sergio Chieffi,Marco Carotenuto,Vincenzo Monda,Anna Valenzano,Ines Villano,Francesco Precenzano,Domenico Tafuri,Monica Salerno,Nicola Filippi,Francesco Nuccio,Maria Ruberto,Vincenzo De Luca,Luigi Cipolloni,Giuseppe Cibelli,Maria Pina Mollica,Diego Iacono,Ersilia Nigro,Marcellino Monda,Giovanni Messina,Giovanni Messina,Antonietta Messina +20 more
TL;DR: Orexin signaling promotes obesity resistance via enhanced spontaneous physical activity and energy expenditure regulation and the deficiency/dysfunction in orexins system lead to obesity in animal models despite of lower calories intake than wildtype associated with reduced physical activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor NR2B subunit gene GRIN2B in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: Polymorphisms and mRNA levels.
Livia Martucci,Albert H.C. Wong,Vincenzo De Luca,Olga Likhodi,Gregory W.H. Wong,Nicole King,James L. Kennedy +6 more
TL;DR: A role for GRIN2B in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is suggested and gene expression levels in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and controls were not significantly different, suggesting a role for the NR2B protein.
Journal ArticleDOI
Translocator protein (18 kDa) polymorphism (rs6971) explains in-vivo brain binding affinity of the PET radioligand [18F]-FEPPA
Romina Mizrahi,Romina Mizrahi,Pablo Rusjan,James L. Kennedy,Bruce G. Pollock,Benoit H. Mulsant,Ivonne Suridjan,Ivonne Suridjan,Vincenzo De Luca,Alan A. Wilson,Alan A. Wilson,Sylvain Houle,Sylvain Houle +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that one polymorphism (rs6971) located in exon 4 of the TSPO gene, which results in a nonconservative amino-acid substitution from alanine to threonine (Ala147Thr) in the T SPO protein, predicts [18F]-FEPPA total distribution volume in human brains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of the HTR2C gene and antipsychotic induced weight gain: a meta-analysis.
TL;DR: The meta-analysis provides support for the association of HTR2C in weight gain but indicates that firmly establishing the role of pharmacogenetics in clinical psychiatry requires much larger sample sizes that have been hitherto reported.
