Serotonergic (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) transmission may play an important role in the treatment and/or pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Previous studies reported that several atypical antipsychotic agents have high affinities for the 5-HT 6 receptor. The 5-HT 6 receptor gene polymorphism might contr
We selected 42 patients with bipolar disorder type I (BPI) and 40 healthy controls for genetic analysis of DNA polymorphisms in the serotonin receptor 2c (5-HTR2c) and serotonin transporter (5-HTT) genes. No significant associations were found in the total patient sample. However, when the individua
Serotonergic systems have been reported to mediate the control of aggression and/or impulsivity in humans and to be involved in suicidal behavior. Neurochemical studies showing serotonergic dysfunction in suicide appear to support the functional alteration of serotonergic systems due to gene polymor
