The serotonin 2A (5-HT2A) receptor gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of suicidal behavior by a genetic association between the 5-HT2A C102T silent polymorphism and suicidality in patients with major depression. However, a recent meta-analysis failed to confirm this association. We developed an improved quantitative assay for the measurement of allele-specific expression of the 5-HT2A gene, and find...
