We assessed the effect of MAOA (rs1137070, rs2064070, rs6323) and TPH2 (rs1386494, rs4570625) variants associated with risk for depression and related clinical phenomena on global MAO-A distribution volume (VT) using [11C]harmine PET in 51 participants (21 individuals with seasonal affective disorder (SAD) and 30 healthy individuals (HI)). Here, MAOA is linked to depressive symptom measurement.
