Association studies of the 5-HT2A T102C and the 5-HT2C Cys23Ser receptor gene polymorphisms and suicidal behaviour

Abstract:

Disruption of the serotonergic system is suggested to be involved in suicidal behaviour and depression. Results from polymorphism studies have been equivocal in their appraisal of a genetic contribution to this involvement. In the current investigation, the frequencies of the 5-HT2A receptor (T102C) and 5-HT2C receptor (Cys23Ser) polymorphisms were examined in a well-characterised sample of deliberate self-harm (DSH) patients and in healthy controls. DSH patients (n= 144) were recruited from ...
