Abstract excerpt
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) may be implicated in both the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and in mediating atypical antipsychotic drug effects. Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme involved in the synthesis of 5-HT. Some genetic variants of the TPH1 gene have been tested for their associations with schizophrenia, but with conflicting results. To assess whether TPH1 is implicated in...
