摘要
Disturbance of the serotonergic system has been suggested as a factor in the pathogenesis of affective disorders. Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the serotonin biosynthetic pathway, and a new TPH isoform, TPH2, has been identified in the brain and localized to the long arm of chromosome 12 in a region that has been reported to contain bipolar and major depressive disorder susceptibility genes. An SNP-based association study on a case/control sample gave support to the existence of an affective disorder-associated haplotype in the TPH2 gene.
