Relationship between FKBP5 polymorphisms and depression symptoms among kidney transplant recipients
AssociationN=1,084Gen Shinozaki et al.(2011)· Depression and Anxiety

This case-control and follow-up study examined associations of FKBP4 and FKBP5 gene polymorphisms with disease susceptibility, glucocorticoid efficacy, depression, anxiety, and health-related quality of life in 541 SLE patients and 543 healthy controls. FKBP5 gene polymorphisms were associated with depression (rs4713904, rs9368878, rs7757037) and glucocorticoid efficacy in SLE patients. FKBP4 and FKBP5 polymorphisms were associated with improvements in health-related quality of life after treatment.

About FKBP5

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the immunophilin protein family, which play a role in immunoregulation and basic cellular processes involving protein folding and trafficking. This encoded protein is a cis-trans prolyl isomerase that binds to the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin. It is thought to mediate calcineurin inhibition. It also interacts functionally with mature hetero-oligomeric progesterone receptor complexes along with the 90 kDa heat shock protein and P23 protein. This gene has been found to have multiple polyadenylation sites. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
