Previous studies have demonstrated aberrant expression of serotonin in individuals with an eating disorder. Given this the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) is a strong candidate to contribute to the genetic component of the aetiology of eating disorders. To determine the role of this particular ge

We have examined three functional polymorphisms, serotonin transporter promoter region polymorphism (5-HTTLPR), dopamine D4 exon III repeat region (DRD4), and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), in a small family-based design toward identifying candidate genes that confer risk for autism. A signifi
## Abstract We addressed the question whether __5โHTTLPR__, a variable number of tandem repeats located in the 5โฒ end of the serotonin transporter gene, is associated with smoking or alcohol consumption. Samples of DNA from 1,365 elderly women with a mean age of 69.2 years were genotyped for this p
