The authors examined variations of serotonin transporter-linked promoter region (5-HTTLPR) functional polymorphism in 26 stroke patients with major depression and in 25 unrelated nondepressed stroke subjects of Caucasian descent. Findings indicate a significant association between 5-HTTLPR short variant genotype and poststroke major depression.
作者检测了26例患有重度抑郁症的中风患者以及25例无关的高加索裔非抑郁症中风患者的5-羟色胺转运体相关启动子区域(5-HTTLPR)功能多态性的变异情况。研究结果表明,5-HTTLPR短变异基因型与中风后重度抑郁症之间存在显著关联。
