The serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) is considered as a candidate gene for BPD as multiple lines of evidence have suggested that it plays an important role in suicide, impulsive behaviour, and emotional liability.ompared with healthy controls, patients with BPD showed higher frequencies of the 10 repeat of the VNTR marker and the S-10 haplotype, and fewer 12 repeat and L A -12 haplotype. These results suggest that the serotonin transporter gene may play a role in the aetiology of BPD.
Thus, although phyto-. chrome may play a role in gene expression in etiolated plants, a primary role for phytochrome in green plants is. likely to be in modulating the amount of chloroplast development, rather than triggering the initiation of events (e.g., gene expression) associated with chloroplast development.
