Abstract excerpt
In the present study we sought to identify genetic variation in the 5-HT1A receptor gene which through alteration of protein function or level of expression might contribute to the genetic predisposition to neuropsychiatric diseases. Genomic DNA samples from 159 unrelated subjects (including 45 schizophrenic, 46 bipolar affective, and 43 patients with Tourette's syndrome, as well as 25 healthy controls) were...
