Gene-environment interactions influence psychiatric disorders. Studies in nonhuman primates show the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) interacts with social stress, impacting mood and alcohol intake.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Genetics
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Gene-environment interactions are crucial for understanding psychiatric disorders.
  • Serotonergic neurotransmission dysfunction is linked to alcoholism, depression, and anxiety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review literature on nonhuman primates examining the interaction between serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene and environmental factors.
  • To understand the role of 5-HTT genetic variations in response to social stress and their implications for psychiatric conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of prospective studies in nonhuman primates subjected to social stress.
  • Analysis of genetic constitution of the 5-HTT promoter region.
  • Brain imaging studies to assess serotonin transporter availability.

Main Results:

  • Carriers of short 5-HTT alleles showed reduced serotonin turnover after social stress.
  • Increased raphe serotonin transporter availability was observed in these primates.
  • Low serotonin turnover and high transporter availability correlated with reduced alcohol intake, anxiety, and impulsive aggression.

Conclusions:

  • Serotonergic dysfunction, influenced by 5-HTT genotype and environment, is linked to negative mood states and excessive alcohol intake.
  • Reduced alcohol-induced sedation may partially mediate the relationship between serotonergic dysfunction and alcohol consumption.
