Popis: The aetiology of anxiety disorders is known to be influenced by genetic factors. Genome-wide association studies revealed common intronic SNPs within the 831942 bp long transmembrane protein 132D gene (TMEM132D) located on chromosome 12 to be associated with panic disorder and anxiety-related phenotypes (Erhardt et al., 2010). Recent studies in autism and schizophrenia have shown that a combination of common as well as rare functional disease variants is important in the genetic susceptibility to psychiatric disorders (Alaerts, Del-Favero, 2009; Uher, 2009). Therefore the exonic regions and exon-intron junctions of TMEM132D were investigated to identify both common and rare genetic variants which might be associated with changes in gene function in anxiety disorders.
