Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Variation at the serotonin transporter gene, SLC6A4, has been associated with a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders and could be involved in other health-related phenotypes. METHODS: To determine the extent of variation at SLC6A4, we genotyped 23 markers on approximately 2500 individuals from 47 global populations, including the promoter variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) and 2 single nucleotide...
