Original article 267 Is 472G/A catechol-O-methyl-transferase gene polymorphism related to panic disorder? a b Elias Zintzaras and Nikolaos Sakelaridis Objectives Case–control studies relating 472G/A Caucasians [OR = 1.26 (0.93–1.69) and (P = 0.24, catechol-O-methyl-transferase polymorphism with the risk I = 28%)] existed. The genotype differences for the of developing panic disorder showed inconclusive or homozygotes, the recessive and dominant models for contradictory results. To shed some light on these results a allele G produced the same overall pattern like the allele meta-analysis of all available case–control studies was contrast in terms of association and heterogeneity. No conducted. differential magnitude of effect in large versus small studies for each polymorphism investigating was found. The cumulative meta-analysis showed an increase in OR Methods We searched PubMed database for English- languages case–control studies using the key words: as evidence accumulated.
