AI Article Synopsis

  • Perinatal mood disorders, particularly postpartum depression (PPD), have significant societal costs and can adversely affect mothers and their children.
  • The study examines the estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) and its association with PPD by testing nine genetic variations in 257 postpartum women, finding a significant link between a specific TA microsatellite repeat and PPD symptoms.
  • The research suggests that ESR1 may influence PPD through its interaction with serotonin signaling, highlighting its potential relevance for other related disorders and treatments involving estrogen.

Article Abstract

Perinatal mood disorders, such as postpartum depression (PPD), are costly for society, with potentially serious consequences for mother and child. While multiple genes appear to play a role in PPD susceptibility, the contributions of specific genetic variations remain unclear. Previously implicated as a candidate gene, the estrogen receptor alpha gene (ESR1) is a key player in mediating hormonal differences during pregnancy and the postpartum period. This study addresses genetic factors in perinatal mood disorders, testing nine polymorphisms in ESR1. Two hundred fifty-seven postpartum women were screened for mood disorders, including 52 women with PPD and 32 without any symptoms of mood disorders. We detected a significant association for the upstream TA microsatellite repeat with Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale scores (p = 0.007). The same variant was also associated with the occurrence of PPD. Separately, 11 candidate functional polymorphisms in 7 additional genes were genotyped to investigate gene-gene interaction with the ESR1 TA repeat, identifying a potential interaction with the serotonin transporter. Our results support a role for ESR1 in the etiology of PPD, possibly through the modulation of serotonin signaling. Our findings for ESR1 could have broad implications for other disorders and therapies that involve estrogens.
