We determined polymorphism in the serotonin (5-HT) transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) in 501 healthy Japanese, individuals, using the polymerase chain reaction of Lesch et al., with minor modifications. The distribution of allele frequencies was determined and found to differ from that in Caucasians. We also investigated the relationship of polymorphism in 5-HTTLPR to anxiety traits, by having...
