Serotonin transporter gene functional polymorphism: a plausible candidate gene for increased vascular risk in depression.

Abstract excerpt

The evidence of increased vascular morbidity and mortality associated with depression has generated research interest in studying the mechanisms or causal pathways underlying this association. Recent advances in molecular genetics have demonstrated that serotonin transporter gene functional polymorphism may confer susceptibility for affective disorder as well as for some cardiovascular risk factors. Taking into...
