Proteasome modulator 9 ( PSMD9 ) gene single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1043307/rs2514259 ( E197G ) is associated with significant clinical response to the anti‐depressant desipramine. PSMD9 SNP rs74421874 [ intervening sequence ( IVS ) 3 + nt 460 G>A ], rs3825172 ( IVS3 + nt437 C>T ) and rs1043307/rs2514259 ( E197G A>G ) are all linked to type 2 diabetes (T2D), maturity‐onset‐diabetes‐of the young 3 (MODY3), obesity and waist circumference, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, T2D‐macrovascular and T2D‐microvascular disease, T2D‐neuropathy, T2D‐carpal tunnel syndrome, T2D‐nephropathy, T2D‐retinopathy, non‐diabetic retinopathy and depression. PSMD9 rs149556654 rare SNP ( N166S A>G ) and the variant S143G A>G also contribute to T2D. PSMD9 is located in the chromosome 12q24 locus, which per se is in linkage with depression, bipolar disorder and anxiety. In the present study, we wanted to determine whether PSMD9 is linked to general anxiety disorder in Italian T2D families. Two‐hundred Italian T2D families were phenotyped for generalized anxiety disorder, using the diagnostic criteria of DSM‐IV. When the diagnosis was unavailable or unclear, the trait was reported as unknown. The 200 Italians families were tested for the PSMD9 T2D risk SNPs rs74421874 ( IVS3 + nt460 G>A ), rs3825172 ( IVS3 +nt437 T>C ) and for the T2D risk and anti‐depressant response SNP rs1043307/rs2514259 ( E197G A>G ) for evidence of linkage with generalized anxiety disorder. Non‐parametric linkage analysis was executed via Merlin software. One‐thousand simulation tests were performed to exclude results due to random chance. In our study, the PSMD9 gene SNPs rs74421874, rs3825172, and rs1043307/rs2514259 result in linkage to generalized anxiety disorder. This is the first report describing PSMD9 gene SNPs in linkage to generalized anxiety disorder in T2D families. J. Cell. Physiol. 229: 1157–1159, 2014. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
