Brief summary

Based on pharmacogenomics analysis technology, this topic explored its impact on individualized precise treatment of patients with depression through randomized controlled trials. The study subjects were depression patients from the mental health research center affiliated to Tongji University. The sample size was estimated by PASS 21.0.3 software. The sample size of the intervention group and the control group was 60 cases each, and SPSS 25.0 software was used for random sampling. The intervention group completed the pharmacogenomic analysis of antidepressants before using them, and selected appropriate antidepressants according to the characteristics of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of individual patients, while the control group was administered according to routine treatment. 17 items Hamilton Compression Scale (HAMD-17), Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Dimensional Anhedonia Rating Scale (DARS), Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI), Antidepressant Side Effect Checklist (ASEC), Short form 36 item health survey questionnaire (SF-36) (PDQ) assessment. R Project 4.1.1 software was used for statistical analysis of data, PLink v1.07 and Haploview software were used for association analysis of whole genome and drug efficacy and adverse reactions. To explore the difference between the reduction rate of drug efficacy and adverse reactions in patients with depression after pharmacogenomics intervention and conventional treatment. At the same time, we verified and found the gene loci related to the efficacy and adverse reactions of antidepressants in the East Asian population.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTGenomic analysis of antidepressants

Genomic analysis of all antidepressants. Tris EDTA anticoagulation and salting out were used to extract DNA. OD 260/280 was between 1.6-1.8 and the concentration was greater than 50 ng/ μ L。 Using the PCR gene chip detection method and the Asian Screening Array (ASA) chip detection technology of Illumina Company (this chip is the first whole genome SNP chip designed based on the whole genome sequencing data of 9000+East Asian populations, which contains 750000 markers, with 85% of the effective loci), we can obtain the genetic information of polymorphic loci related to the individual differences of drug effects of subjects.
