Abstract
⺠Met allele of COMT Val158Met polymorphism was associated with reduced emotional brain activation. ⺠This concerned posterior cingulate gyrus and precuneus during a task of valence evaluation. ⺠The Met allele homozygotes reported difficulties in verbalizing their feelings. ⺠Met allele may be associated with reduced activation of areas subserving emotional awareness. ⺠This may contribute to susceptibility for affective disorders.
