## Abstract A role for the serotonin transporter (5βHTT) gene polymorphism in mental illnesses and anxietyβtraits has been implicated. The contribution of genetic factors in personality traits and the manifestation of specific symptoms in psychiatric illnesses have yet to be elucidated. Anxiousβdep
## Objectives Several lines of evidence suggest that genetic alterations in serotonin 6 (5βHT6) receptors might be associated with the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. We sought to assess the relationship between genotype alterations in 5βHT6 receptors and schizophrenia both in a caseβcontrol stud
A major role of the serotonergic system has been hypothesized in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, mostly based on the evidence of action of new and atypical neuroleptics such as Risperidone or Clozapine. We evaluated the genotypes and alleles of the 5HT2a receptor gene in 67 nuclear families follo
The effect of methionine, an essential amino acid, on brain regional distribution of dopamine, serotinin and major acidic metabolites was studied in two genetically different strains of mice. These were the inbred albino BALB/C and the black C,,BL/6 mouse strains. The later strain was more sensitive
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
