The striking evidence of almost 100% association of narcolepsy with human leukocyte antigens (HLA) DR2(DR15) antigen is an important clue to elucidate the molecular basis of this sleep disorder. The gene for tumor necrosis factor ␣ (TNF ␣) is located in the HLA class II gene cluster. Recent studies
Genetic variations in the 5-untranslated region and the coding region of the CCK-B receptor (CCK-BR) gene were investigated in healthy controls. Novel variants (-215 C→A, Leu37Phe, Arg319Glu) were found in addition to the mutations (Val125Iso, His207His, Arg215His, 2491 C→A) reported previously. In
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)
