Positive genetic associations of rs6313 (102T/C at exon 1) and rs6311 (− 1438A/G) on the 5-
hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) 2A receptor gene (HTR2A or 5-HT2A) were reported for …

Some controversy exists on the specific genetic variants that are associated with nicotine
dependence and smoking-related phenotypes. The purpose of this study was to analyse the …

In this article, we explore the ways in which genetic research reconfigures historically rooted
debates on race and national identity by analyzing the intense debates that have taken …

Molecular genetic studies of psychiatric traits, including externalizing behaviors, aim to
further our understanding of etiology by identifying specific genetic vulnerabilities that give …

Introduction: The vast majority of tobacco smokers seeking to quit will relapse within the first
month of abstinence. Currently available smoking cessation agents have limited utility in …

Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) is an important neurotransmitter implicated in

A number of studies have demonstrated that stress is involved in all aspects of smoking
behavior, including initiation, maintenance and relapse. The mineralocorticoid (MR) and …

BACKGROUND: The C allele of a common polymorphism of the serotonin 2A receptor
