The genes involved in the serotonin system are major candidates in association studies on affective disorders and responses to antidepressants. We studied a functional polymorphism of the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene (a 44 bp insertion/deletion in the 5-HTT-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR)) and lifetime history of antidepressant-induced mania (AIM) in a population of 305 patients with bipolar affective disorder. AIM was defined using a broad definition and a restrictive definition. No association was found between the "s" allele of the 5-HTTLPR and AIM for either definition. However, we found an association between the 5-HTTLPR and lifetime history of rapid cycling in a subsample of patients (for allele and genotype distributions: exact probability, p=0.0009 and chi(2)=9.4; df=1; p=0.002, respectively). These results may help to explain the conflicting association results obtained with the 5-HTT gene polymorphism, in particular with AIM. Indeed, the precise phenotype associated with the 5-HTT gene is unclear. The association between the "s" allele and rapid cycling may provide further evidence for an association between the 5-HTTLPR "s" allele and a pattern of affective instability.
