The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) regulates serotonergic neurotransmission and is thought to influence emotion. A 5-HTTlinked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has two common variants, short (s) and long (l). We previously found population and withinfamily associations between the lowerexpressing s alle
## Abstract Family, twin, and adoption studies show that psychiatric diseases including bipolar disorder (BP) and unipolar disorder (UP) have a substantial genetic component. For these illnesses, both positive and negative associations have been reported for two polymorphisms located in the seroton
## Abstract We addressed the question whether __5βHTTLPR__, a variable number of tandem repeats located in the 5β² end of the serotonin transporter gene, is associated with smoking or alcohol consumption. Samples of DNA from 1,365 elderly women with a mean age of 69.2 years were genotyped for this p
