Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: There has been debate whether polymorphisms within the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) moderate susceptibility to posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The authors investigated 5-HTTLPR genotypes and their interaction with the number of traumatic events in the prediction of PTSD in a general population sample. METHOD: Analyses were based on data from 3,045 subjects who...
