## Abstract Previous studies have indicated associations between a functional biallelic repetitive element in the 5β² regulatory region of the serotonin transporter gene (5βHTTLPR) and alcoholic subjects who have either dissocial personality disorder or severe withdrawal symptoms. To replicate these
Serotonin transporter regulatory region polymorphism is associated with anorexia nervosa

Disturbances in central serotonin (5-HT) function may have a role in impulsive aggression in patients with a wide range of psychiatric diagnoses. The underlying mechanism, however, remains unknown. There are several naturally occurring mutations in the 5-HT signaling pathway that may underlie differ
We have examined three functional polymorphisms, serotonin transporter promoter region polymorphism (5-HTTLPR), dopamine D4 exon III repeat region (DRD4), and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), in a small family-based design toward identifying candidate genes that confer risk for autism. A signifi
