title: [Serotonin transporter gene polymorphism in families with schizophrenia].
abstract: Recently association between VNTR-17 (12 copies, allel 12) and schizophrenia has been reported. Relations between allele polymorphism of serotonin transporter gene and schizophrenia in 71 Russian families with schizophrenia (n = 253) were studied. Genotyping was made by VNTR-17 and HTTLPR loci. Allele 10 was transmitted 25 times and allele 12 was transmitted 28 times. In the case of HTTLPR polymorphism allele I was transmitted 26 times and allele s was transmitted 19 times. These differences in transmission also were statistically insignificant (p = 0.69). Therefore, our findings do not support association between 5-HTT polymorphism and susceptibility to schizophrenia.
