## ~ A new class of disease (including Hunting ton disease, Kennedy disease, and spinocerebellar ataxias types 1 and 3) results from abnormal expansions of CAG trinucleotides in the coding regions of genes. In all of these diseases the CAG repeats are thought to be translated into polyglutamine tr
It has been suggested that the serotonin transporter (5-hydroxytryptamine-transporter or 5-HTT) may be involved in the pathogenesis of affective disorders. Recently, Collier et al. (1996) found that the frequency of the low-activity short variant (s) of the 5-HTT-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR)
Monoamine oxidases catalyse the oxidative degradation of biogenic amines including neurotransmitters such as noradrenaline, dopamine, and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). Three groups have reported positive associations of the monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) gene with bipolar affective disorder although other
## Abstract The serotonin 2A (__5‐HT2A__) receptor gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of suicidal behavior by a genetic association between the 5‐HT2A C102T silent polymorphism and suicidality in patients with major depression. However, a recent meta‐analysis failed to confirm this associ
