The 5-HTTLPR polymorphism in South African healthy populations: a global comparison.

Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996) - 1 May 2008

Esau Luke, Kaur Mandeep, Adonis Lucinda, Arieff Zainunisha

Abstract excerpt

The serotonin transporter promoter length polymorphism (5-hydroxytryptamine transporter length polymorphism, 5-HTTLPR) in serotonin transporter gene has been implicated in numerous psychiatric disorders. Having a high affinity for the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), serotonin transporter controls the duration, availability and signaling capacity of 5-HT in the synapse.
