## Abstract While there is some preliminary evidence that the tryptophan hydroxylase I (TPH1) polymorphisms are related to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), it is not clear if this association is due to the high rates of suicidal behavior in this patient group. Because of the reported associat
Tryptophan hydroxylase gene polymorphisms are not associated with suicide

## Abstract We investigated the association between two markers in the seventh intron of the tryptophan hydroxylase gene (__TPH__ C218A and C779A) in a populationβbased case control study of 780 genotyped subjects. As in prior studies, the two markers were in strong linkage disequilibrium. The phen
