Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Genetic variability within the serotoninergic system may predict the response to antidepressant drugs. Several polymorphisms in the gene coding for the brain-specific tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH2) have been associated with susceptibility to psychiatric diseases. In this study, we analyzed the correlation between TPH2 polymorphisms and response to antidepressant drugs. METHODS: The study included 182...
