Serotonin 2c receptor RNA editing in major depression and suicide
9 Mar 2012
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: mRNA for serotonin 2C receptor (5-HT(2C)R) undergoes editing which results in numerous isoforms. More highly edited isoforms exhibit decreased function. We recently found greater 5-HT(2C)R editing in suicide victims with prior bipolar disorder (BPD) or schizophrenia (SZ) compared with non-suicide patients and normal controls (NC). This study compares suicides and non-suicides with major depressive...
