[Association of the hSERT and SLC6A4 polymorphic markers of the serotonin transporter gene with schizophrenia in different ethnic groups].
Insertion/deletion and VNTR polymorphisms of the serotonin transporter gene were tested for association with schizophrenia in patients varying in ethnicity. A difference in genetic predisposition was observed for continuous and shift-like schizophrenia forms, the former tending to be associated with genotype 12/12 in Tatars and L/L in Russians.
