## Abstract There is evidence that disturbances in central serotonin (5‐HT) function have a role in impulsive aggression, violence, and criminality. A deletion/insertion polymorphism within the 5‐HT transporter (5‐HTT) promoter gene (5‐HTT gene‐linked polymorphic region, 5‐HTTLPR) is thought to be

Interactions with antidepressants, as well as other biochemical evidence, implicate the serotonin transporter 5-HTT in the etiology of affective disorders. However, genetic studies have produced conflicting results concerning an association of 5-HTT with bipolar disorder. We examined a variable numb
We examined a panel of 21 patients diagnosed with compulsive buying for two DNA sequence polymorphisms found in the gene that encodes the serotonin transport (5-HTT). One polymorphism, found in the promoter region of the 5-HTT gene, involves a 44-base pair (bp) deletion, and the other, found in the
