Antidepressants are the most commonly used treatment for patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). The remission rate, however, is insufficient; approximately one-third of patients taking these medications are considered to be ‘treatment resistant’. 1 In addition, poor response or delay in finding an appropriate drug has a negative impact on the therapeutic effect. Therefore, a useful predictor for the treatment response is warranted in the clinical setting, and one of the best approaches is the pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics (PGt/PGx). Although a large number of classical PGt studies have targeted candidate genes, there are no consistent results till date. Recently, to survey genetic variants at the genome-wide level, three PGx studies (GENDEP, 2 MARS3 and STAR* D4) have been conducted. All of these, as well as their mega-analysis, 5 again revealed no single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with genome-wide significance (P= 5× 10− 8).From the results of the mega-analysis, 5 where the sample size was maximized, the effect size of the SNPs with modest association was not extremely large (odds ratio (OR),~ 1.5), although PGt/PGx phenotypes were presumed to have a larger effect size compared with that of complex diseases. Therefore, as the replication analysis is essential to avoid type II errors, we were motivated to conduct this replication study using a Japanese population. Two-hundred and seventeen patients with MDD who were of Japanese ancestry were examined (males= 114, females= 103, mean age±sd= 47.1±15.0 years) in this study. All the subjects were treated by selective serotonin transporter reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) monotherapy for 8 weeks
