Polymorphic DNA repeats in the human serotonin transporter gene locus, predisposing to behavioural disorders, emerge as functional regulators of gene expression
Two distinct variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs) within the human serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) have been implicated as predisposing factors for CNS disorders. The first termed linked polymorphic region (LPR) located in the 5' promoter exists as two common alleles, short (s) and long (...
