Active
Term Description
A patient's genotype (e.g. S/S) for the 44-base pair promoter insertion/deletion polymorphism, 5-HTTLPR, in the SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 4) gene.
Part Description
LP417576-8 SLC6A4 gene 5-HTTLPR variant
The 5-HTTLPR variant in the SLC6A4 (solute carrier family 6 (neurotransmitter transporter), member 4) gene is a 44-base pair promoter insertion/deletion polymorphism that has been shown to affect the rate of serotonin uptake in patients. It may also play a role in sudden infant death syndrome, aggressive behavior in Alzheimer disease patients, and depression-susceptibility in people experiencing emotional trauma.[NCBI Gene ID:6532] The serotonin transporter polymorphism results in either a long allele (L) or short allele (S) of the gene. The "L" allele is associated with normal levels of serotonin transporter, and the "S" allele is associated with reduced serotonin transporter levels and increased risk for depression. PMID: 17063469
