Abstract: Effective in treatment-resistant depression (TRD), repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) presents a remission rate between 30% and 40%. Although genetics could be one potential source of inter-individual variability in rTMS responsiveness, few studies have sought to identify possible genetic basis of rTMS response [1,2]. Therefore, we used an extreme-phenotype design in which we compared genome-wide allelic variation between rigorously defined rTMS responders and non-responders. A total of 99 TRD patients provided informed consent and this study was approved by the Human Research and Ethics Committee of the Alfred Hospital. All were submitted to a rTMS protocol and completed at least 18 sessions of 10 Hz at left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). Clinical outcomes (responder or non-responder) were determined based on scores on the Montgomery Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS).
