The Serotonin Transporter Gene and Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesEuropean Neurology, 2000
Dysfunction in the serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) system and reduced serotonin concentrations have been reported in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Serotonin concentrations in neural tissue are controlled by a presynaptic serotonin transporter protein that is encoded by a single gene.

Organization of the Human Serotonin Transporter Gene

Journal of Neural Transmission, 1994
The gene encoding the human serotonin transporter (5-HTT) has been isolated and characterized. The human 5-HTT gene is composed of 14 exons spanning approximately 31 kb. The sequence of all exons including adjacent intronic sequences and a tandem repeat DNA polymorphism (VNTR) has been determined and deposited in the EMBL/GenBank data base with the ...

No Evidence for in Vivo Regulation of Midbrain Serotonin Transporter Availability by Serotonin Transporter Promoter Gene Polymorphism

Biological Psychiatry, 2001
A polymorphism in the serotonin transporter promoter gene region (5-HTTLPR) has been shown to influence the quantity of serotonin transporter expressed in human cell lines: the 5-HTTLPR short allele (s) has been associated with reduced 5-HTT expression when compared to cells carrying the 5-HTTLPR long allele (l).

Serotonin transporter gene polymorphisms: Effect on serotonin transporter availability in the brain of suicide attempters

open access: yesPsychiatry Research: Neuroimaging, 2008
The efficacy of serotonin reuptake inhibitors in depression and anxiety disorders suggests the gene coding for the serotonin transporter (5-HTT), SLC6A4, as a candidate of importance for these conditions. Positive findings regarding associations between polymorphisms in SLC6A4 have been reported, indicating that these polymorphisms may influence ...

Serotonin Transporter Gene

Psychosomatic Medicine, 2013
The serotonin transporter gene has been hypothesized to influence, possibly in interaction with environmental factors, the vulnerability for depression. So far, genetic studies have tested the association of the repeat polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) with depression and whether it is moderated by exposure to stressful events.

Schizophrenia and the Serotonin Transporter Gene

Psychiatric Genetics, 1998
A case control study was conducted among cases with schizophrenia (DSM IV criteria) and screened adult controls from three cohorts. Bi-allelic polymorphisms in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) were examined in conjunction with those of the serotonin 5-HT2a receptor (HTR2).

The serotonin transporter gene as a QTL for ADHD

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, 2005
AbstractMolecular studies of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have identified susceptibility genes for the categorically diagnosed disorder using operational diagnostic criteria. Here, we take a QTL approach to mapping genes for ADHD using a composite continuous index of ADHD behavior in a large epidemiological sample.

THE SEROTONIN TRANSPORTER GENE AND DEPRESSION

open access: yesDepression and Anxiety, 2012
Psychiatric disorders such as depression are known to be under a degree of genetic influence, but the specific variants contributing to this heritability remain largely unknown.
