    Author: Segal J, Pujol C, Birck A, Gus Manfro G, Leistner-Segal S.
    Journal: Psychiatry Res; 2006 Aug 30; 143(2-3):289-91. PubMed ID: 16859753.
    Abstract:
    A polymorphism in the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) is being studied for association with suicidal behavior. We verified the relationship between the frequencies of the 5-HTTLPR alleles in 84 depressed patients with suicide attempts compared with 152 controls. We found a higher risk for suicide behavior among depressed patients bearing SS or LS genotypes.
