Abstract excerpt
Dysfunction of the central serotonergic system has been implicated in the pathophysiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The genetic contribution to the development of OCD is particularly high in early-onset OCD. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of polymorphic variants in the gene of the novel brain-specific tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2), the rate-limiting enzyme of serotonin (5-HT)...
