Abstract excerpt
Affective disorders are usually referred to as being inherited multifactorially. The contribution of a gene locus in illnesses displaying multifactorial inheritance may be assessed by searching for associations of alleles to the illness. The tyrosine hydroxylase gene encodes the rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamines and might be a candidate for causing the manic-depressive phenotype. Therefore,...
