Aim: NTRK2 is the main receptor of the brain derived neurotrophic factor, which is involved in antidepressant efficacy. We assessed the impact of eight NTRK2 SNPs pertaining to response and remission after antidepressant treatment in depressed patients.
Patients & Methods: In a naturalistic study, 569 patients with a major depressive episode requiring a new antidepressant treatment were genotyped for eight NTRK2 SNPs (rs1187352, rs1439050, rs1778933 rs2289656, rs2289657, rs2289658, rs3824519, rs56142442) and prospectively assessed for response and remission after 6 months of treatment.
Results: No association was shown between the NTRK2 SNPs and response/remission.
Conclusion: There is no benefit to assess these eight TRKB SNPs to predict response/remission after antidepressant treatment in depressed patients.

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on 1000 preconception Chinese women to identify genetic factors (SNPs) affecting folate levels and related biomarkers like vitamin B-12 and homocysteine.
- Key findings included that the MTHFR rs1801133 SNP significantly influenced RBC folate and homocysteine, while other SNPs were linked to serum folate and vitamin B-12 levels.
- This research is the first of its kind in this demographic, highlighting the genetic factors affecting nutrient levels important for pregnancy preparation.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the genetic diversity of Kirghiz sheep and their adaptability to the Pamir Plateau by analyzing various sheep breeds and using advanced genetic analysis techniques such as principal component and phylogenetic analysis.
- - Selective signature analysis revealed important genes linked to adaptive traits and production characteristics, including those related to environmental adaptations, wool quality, body size, reproduction, and immunity.
- - The findings aim to enhance local sheep breeding programs by identifying key candidate genes that can improve the resilience and productivity of Kirghiz sheep in harsh conditions.
Influence of Genetic Polymorphisms on Cognitive Function According to Dietary Exposure to Bisphenols in a Sample of Spanish Schoolchildren.

Department of Nutrition and Food Science, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Granada, 18071 Granada, Spain.
Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) like intellectual disability (ID) are highly heritable, but the environment plays an important role. For example, endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA) and its analogues, have been termed neuroendocrine disruptors. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of different genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) on cognitive function in Spanish schoolchildren according to dietary bisphenol exposure.
