Investigation of serotonin transporter gene promoter (5-HTTLPR) and intron 2 (variable number of tandem repeats) polymorphisms with suicidal behavior in a Turkish population.

abstract：:Sufficient levels of gene expression are required for effective gene therapy. One of the major obstacles in gene therapy is the low transgene expression obtained from currently available vector systems. To address this issue, we employed a transcriptional amplifier strategy in a single construct to enhance transgene e...
