Association Analysis of the Tryptophan Hydroxylase 2 Gene Polymorphisms in Patients with Methamphetamine Dependence/Psychosis

There is a growing evidence that serotoninergic systems modulate dopaminergic neurotransmission. We analyzed the association between the variations in the brain tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) gene, a rate limiting enzyme for serotonin biosynthesis, and methamphetamine (METH) dependence/psychosis in...
