...% of dementia cases. Genetic origin accounts for 49–79% of disease risk. This paper aims to investigate the association of 17 polymorphisms within 7 genes involved in neurotransmission ( COMT , HTR2A , PPP3CC , RORA , SIGMAR1 , SIRT1 , and SORBS3 ) and AD. Methods: A Greek and an Italian sample were...

..., there are no studies so far investigating the genetic basis. Objectives: The aim of the present study was to replicate an interaction effect of MAOA-uVNTR and life stress on depression, and extend these possible findings to the burnout syndrome.
