Abstract excerpt
The authors examined variations of serotonin transporter-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) functional polymorphism in 26 stroke patients with major depression and in 25 unrelated nondepressed stroke subjects of Caucasian descent. Findings indicate a significant association between 5-HTTLPR short variant genotype and poststroke major depression.
