Abstract excerpt
We have recently reported an association between a polymorphism of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) region of the serotonin transporter gene and susceptibility to major depressive disorder. We identified three alleles containing respectively 9 (STin2.9), 10 (STin2.10) and 12 (STin2.12) copies of a repetitive element. We report here the sequences of the three alleles. The repetitive element conformed to the...
