A systematic review of association studies investigating genes coding for serotonin receptors and the serotonin transporter: II. Suicidal behavior

The different serotonin (5-HT) receptors, including the serotonin transporter (5-HTT), are excellent candidate genes for suicide and suicidal behavior, and thus, they have been investigated in a large number of allelic association studies. The individual results of these studies have been inconsistent and definite conclusions are difficult to establish. A reliable method for assessing individual studies and generating combined results is...
