OBJECTIVE: Depression has been associated with increased platelet activation. Variations in the serotonin-transporter-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) polymorphism may influence the degree of activation. The authors examined the association among depression, platelet activation, and 5-HTTLPR genotype.
