Genetic factors may be associated with disease subtype as well as susceptibility. We have therefore typed polymorphisms at the serotonin transporter, dopamine receptor, tryptophan hydroxylase, tyrosine hydoxylase, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) loci in 139 unipolar and 131 bipolar patients and inves

Corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and proenkephalin (PENK) are hypothalamic peptides involved in the stress response and hypothalamic-pituitary axis regulation. Previous research has implicated these peptides in the pathogenesis of affective disorders. In this study we investigated two polymorph
Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). An association study in bipolar affective disorder I or unipolar major affective disorder was performed by using a Bfa I restriction site polymorphism within intron 7 of the tryptophan hydroxylas
