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.
The 2 main types of genes that play a role in cancer are oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. Oncogenes Most oncogenes are mutations of certain normal genes called proto-oncogenes. Proto-oncogenes are the good genes that normally control what kind of cell it is and how often it divides. When a
