## 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
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
