Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Suicidal behaviour, including completed suicide and attempted suicide, is affected by genetic factors, involving serotonergic system genes. TPH2 gene encodes tryptophan hydroxylase 2, rate-limiting brain serotonin synthetising enzyme whose pre-mRNAs are edited by ADAR enzymes, including ADARB1. TPH2 rs4290270 and ADARB1 rs9983925/rs4819035 variants have been previously implicated in suicide attempt...
