Abstract excerpt
Recent reports have suggested an association between variation in the serotonin transporter and primary pulmonary hypertension and myocardial infarction. We set out to determine whether these associations were present in a population of patients who underwent SLC6A4 genotyping and to explore whether genetic variation in the serotonin transporter might be also associated with other cardiovascular functional and...
