Genetic Biomarkers of Panic Disorder: A Systematic Review.

(1) Background: Although panic disorder (PD) is one of the most common anxiety disorders severely impacting quality of life, no effective genetic testing exists; known data on possible genetic biomarkers is often scattered and unsystematic which complicates further studies. (2) Methods: We used PathwayStudio 12.3 (Elsivier, Netherlands) to acquire literature data for further manual review and analysis.

Background: Panic disorder is a complex disease of unclear etiology but with an apparent genetic component. gene product is involved in many cell processes owing to its function-regulation of the level of a second messenger cAMP. gene polymorphism has been shown to be associated with some mental disorders including panic disorder.
