摘要:
To probe the hypothesis of a role for a functionally relevant 44 hp insertion/deletion of the serotonin transporter promoter in the aetiopathogenesis of panic disorder, we determined the allele frequency of the variant in two samples (combinedn= 158) of panic disorder patients (DSMIII-R) and compared it with its allele frequency in two ethnically matched control samples (combinedn= 169). The fact that no difference could be observed (χ2analysis) argues against a major role for this serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism in the aetiopathogenesis of panic disorder.
