POLYMORPHISM IN TRYPTOPHAN HYDROXYLASE-2 CONTROLS BRAIN SEROTONIN SYNTHESIS

摘要

A method of screening a subject for a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder comprises detecting the presence or absence of an Tph2 mutation in the subject; and then determining that the subject is at increased risk of a serotonergic neurotransmission dysregulation disorder due to the presence or absence of the Tph2 mutation.
