Human family and twin studies have established considerable heritable components in personality traits as assessed by selfreport questionnaires. Recently, an association between a functional polymorphism in the upstream regulatory region of the serotonin transporter gene and neuroticismrelated perso
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
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
