Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: An involvement of serotonin receptor 2A (5-HT2A) in the aetiology of schizophrenia has been hypothesised. The 5-HT2A receptor also appears to be an important site of action of atypical antipsychotic drugs. Indeed, association between schizophrenia and the T102C silent polymorphism of the 5-HTR2A gene has been reported. Another polymorphism in the promoter region of 5-HTR2A (A-1438G) in linkage...
