The serotonin receptor type 2A (5-HT2A) is a primary candidate for involvement in major psychoses. Polymorphisms within the 5-HT2A gene have recently been reported to be associated with a variety of psychopathological conditions. In the present study, we investigated the potential influence of the T

Several pieces of evidence implicate serotonin receptors in the aetiology of schizophrenia, and recently a number of studies have reported a genetic association between the 102T/C polymorphism of serotonin receptor type 2A gene and schizophrenia. Unfortunately a number of failures to replicate these
There is evidence indicating that density of 5-HT2A receptors is altered in brain regions of depressed suicide victims and in platelets of suicidal subjects with major depression or schizophrenia. Recent studies have also shown an association between the allele C of 102T/C polymorphism in the 5-HT2A
