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 Although elevation of blood and platelet serotonin has been documented in autism, genetic analyses of serotonin transporter gene have given conflicting results. Tryptophan 2,3 dioxygenase (TDO2) is the rateβlimiting enzyme in the catabolism of tryptophan, the precursor of serotonin. A m
Possible selective interaction between genetic polymorphisms of acid phosphatase locus 1 (ACP1) and adenosine deaminase (ADA) has been investigated in a sample of 211 infants from diabetic women, and in 350 consecutive infants from normal women. Newborns from diabetic pregnancies carrying the ADA 2
