Abstract excerpt

The polymorphism of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) region of the serotonin transporter gene consists of three alleles containing, respectively, 9 (STin2.9), 10 (STin2.10) and 12 (STin2.12) copies of a repetitive element. The frequencies of the three alleles in 384 individuals presenting after deliberate self harm were the same as a group of 346 controls. However, ratings of anxiety (and state anger) were...
