Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The 5-hydroxytryptamine 2A receptor, encoded by HTR2A, is a major postsynaptic target for serotonin in the human brain and a therapeutic drug target. Despite hundreds of genetic associations investigating HTR2A polymorphisms in neuropsychiatric disorders and therapies, the role of genetic HTR2A variability in health and disease remains uncertain. METHODS: To discover and characterize regulatory HTR2A...
