Serotonergic polymorphisms: Allelic and genotypic frequency distribution in the Mar del Plata, Argentina, population and comparison of genotyping methods

There are variable responses to Serotonin Selective Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) among patients treated with this medication. Polymorphisms found in the genes coding for the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) and the serotonin 2A receptor (5-HTR2A) can be used as genetic biomarkers capable of predicting t...

The SLC6A4 gene has two polymorphisms: 5-HTTLPR, consisting of an insertion/deletion of 44 bp, and 5-HTTVNTR, characterized by 9, 10 or 12 copies of a region of 16-17 bp.
