Intronic polymorphism of tryptophan hydroxylase and serotonin transporter: indication for combined effect in predisposition to suicide
Indices of disturbed serotonergic neurotransmission are the most robust biological findings in suicide. Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) and 5-hydroxytryptamine transporter (5HTt) are the main regulators of 5HT si...
