Abstract excerpt
We have examined the imprinting status of the serotonin-2A (5-HT2A) receptor gene (HTR2A) in a series of 41 tissue samples from human adult brain. Using a HpaII RFLP polymorphism in the coding region, we obtained evidence of monoallelic expression of HTR2A in 4 out of 18 informative individuals. However, biallelic expression of HTR2A was observed in other individuals (14/18), suggesting that within the human...
