Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2) is a potential candidate gene for screening tic disorder (TD). METHODS: A case-control study was performed to examine the association between the TPH2 gene and TD. The Sequenom® Mass ARRAY iPLEX GOLD System was used to genotype two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the TPH2 gene in 149 TD children and in 125 normal controls. RESULTS: For rs4565946, individuals...
