Tryptophan hydroxylase and serotonin transporter gene polymorphism does not affect the diagnosis, clinical features and treatment outcome of panic disorder in the Korean population.

Panic disorder may be associated with defective serotonin (5-HT) neurotransmission. This study was to investigate the association between the tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) gene and a serotonin transporter gene promoter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR), with panic disorder in a Korean population. 244 Korean patients with panic disorder and the 227 controls were genotyped by a polymerase chain reaction-based method.
