Evidence for a bipolar disorder (BPD) susceptibility locus on chromosome 22q11 has been provided in several studies. One candidate gene that maps to this region is the G-protein β£ subunit gene Gβ£z (GNAZ). We have identified a common silent polymorphism in GNAZ exon 2 by single strand conformation po
## Abstract The serotonin 2A (__5βHT2A__) receptor gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of suicidal behavior by a genetic association between the 5βHT2A C102T silent polymorphism and suicidality in patients with major depression. However, a recent metaβanalysis failed to confirm this associ
A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism consisting of multiple copies of a 17-bp repeat in the second intron of the serotonin transporter gene (SERT) has been reported. Different alleles of this VNTR have been found to be associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These findings
