An association study between 5-HTTLPR polymorphism, COMT polymorphism, and Tourette's syndrome.

Psychiatry research - 27 Dec 2000

Cavallini M C, Di Bella D, Catalano M, Bellodi L

Abstract excerpt

Several lines of evidence suggest that a genetic component underlies Tourette's syndrome (TS). We investigated both the role of the insertion/deletion polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) and that of the Val-158-Met substitution in the catechol-O-methyl-transferase (COMT) gene in conferring susceptibility to TS. Fifty-two TS patients were recruited and compared with a...
