To investigate the possible role of the dopamine transporter (DAT) gene in determining the phenotype in human subjects, allele frequencies for the 40-bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism at this site were compared between 117 Japanese normal controls and 118 schizophrenic patient

The serotonin transporter is a compelling candidate gene to examine in bipolar and unipolar affective disorder, since drugs that specifically inhibit the serotonin transporter can successfully treat depression. Previous association studies of a VNTR polymorphism in intron 2 and a functional insertio
## 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
Changes in the function of the serotonergic system influence both panic phobic symptoms and carbon dioxide (CO2) reactivity in patients with panic disorder. Schmidt et al. [2000: J Abnorm Psychol 109(2):308-320] recently reported a predictive role of the genetic variants of the 5-HTTLPR on the fearf
