| Research Abstract |
[Introduction] The goal of present work was to test the performance of a composite, multi-assay diagnostic test for MDD based on the leukocyte gene expression profiles. [Methods] 25 patients, who met criteria for MDD were eligible for enrollment in this study. 25 non-depressed healthy individuals toserve as a control group were recruited from Tokushima University Hospital. We examined the levels of 40 gene expressions simultaneously using custom-made PCR plate. [Results] 13 gene expressions were significantly changed in MDD. MDD score demonstrated a sensitivity and specificity of 72% and 84%, respectively, in differentiating between MDD patients and healthy subjects. [Discussion] Further research is needed to confirm the performance of the test in other independent samples of patients.
