Association of a serotonin transporter gene promoter polymorphism with harm avoidance behaviour in an elderly population.

abstract：BACKGROUND:A long-term controversy exists on whether or not major psychotic disorders can be discretely divided into two groups, for example, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Many genes and polymorphisms have been studied for a role in both disorders, including the Val66Met (also known as rs 6265 or G196A) variant o...
