Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic variation in the regulatory region of the serotonin (5-HT) 2A receptor gene (HTR2A) may contribute to altered levels of 5-HT2A receptor and to psychiatric disease. METHODS: Frequency and linkage disequilibrium (LD) were determined for promoter single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) -1438A/G, -1420C/T, and -783A/G in 156 subjects. Functional relevance of -1438A/G and -783A/G was assayed in...
