Analysis of @entity46076 5 XXXX polymorphism in Brazilian @entity146 inpatients: relationship with suicidal behavior.

@entity1 @entity7601 @entity146 @entity409 @entity46076
1. Central @entity409 and genetic factors are associated with suicidal behavior in @entity146 @entity1 . The goal of this study was to examine the association between the @entity7601 gene polymorphism ( @entity46076 ) and suicide in a sample of Brazilian @entity146 inpatients. 2. We studied 225 subjects. Genotypic frequencies were obtained after DNA extraction and the region of @entity7601 / @entity46076 containing the polymorphic site amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and digested with the restriction enzyme HpaII. 3. No differences were found between @entity1 with and without suicide attempt history. @entity1 with a history of severe suicide attempts also did not exhibit different genotypic frequencies when compared with @entity1 without a suicide attempt history. 4. These results suggest that the @entity7601 gene polymorphism ( @entity46076 ) may not be involved in the genetic susceptibility to suicidal behavior.
