Recent meta-analyses have stimulated an active debate on whether the serotonin
transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) is associated with an elevated …

The serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has been implicated
in moderating vulnerability to stress-related psychopathology upon exposure to …

There has been significant controversy whether stressful life events (SLEs) experienced
over the lifespan may elevate the risk of depression in individuals who are homozygous for …

BACKGROUND: Gene by environment (G× E) interaction between genetic variation in the
promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic …

The study of functionally relevant biological effects of serotonin transporter gene promoter
region (5-HTTLPR) polymorphisms is especially important given the current controversy …

The hypothesis that the S allele of the 5-HTTLPR serotonin transporter promoter region is
associated with increased risk of depression, but only in individuals exposed to stressful …

BACKGROUND: Growing evidence suggests that the serotonin transporter polymorphism (5-
HTTLPR) interacts with adverse environmental influences to produce an increased risk for …

Whereas there is no doubt that the meta-analyses are methodologically sound, it appears
that this technique is only in part suitable for appraising all of the available evidence …

Context Substantial resources are being devoted to identify candidate genes for complex
mental and behavioral disorders through inclusion of environmental exposures following the …
