Serotonin transporter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) association with melancholic depression: a female specific effect?

Depression and anxiety - 1 Jan 2008

Baune Bernhard T, Hohoff Christa, Mortensen Lena S, Deckert Jürgen, Arolt Volker, Domschke Katharina

Abstract excerpt

Earlier studies yielded inconsistent results on the association between variation in the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene and depression, with evidence for a differential effect of the 5-HTTLPR on melancholic versus atypical depression. To further delineate the impact of 5-HTT gene variation on...
