Research in Mice may hold more clues to our condition

Marc Caron, Professor of Cell Biology at Duke University in North Carolina and his team, have conducted research which revealed that a tiny variation in the Tph2 gene, produces a detailed and depressive effect on serotonin production in mice. If the same gene variation produces the same result in humans, this could explain why some people are more prone to depression and anxiety disorders.
This is the first time that a DNA difference has been highlighted, which clearly controls the brain’s manufacture of serotonin – or ‘feel good’ hormone.
Mice with this recently discovered genetic variant, produce 50 - 70 % percent less serotonin.
Conditions such as trichotillomania, attention deficit disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, OCD and even schizophrenia have long been considered to be at least in part genetic, but identifying the precise genes involved, could enable huge breakthroughs in treatment.
Serotonin levels have a profound effect on behaviour, affecting fatigue, mood and appetite - and probably on the emergence of disorders such as Trichotillomania.
