“…In fact, the same genetic variation can be associated with different symptoms. For example, the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism has been associated with different characteristics of mood disorders (i.e., age at onset, 452,453 illness recurrence, 225,454 drug response, reactivity to stressful life events, 455 personality traits) 456 alcoholism, 457 smoking 458 and several psychiatric diagnoses, including psychosomatic disorders, 459 eating disorders, 460,461 suicide, 462 autism 463 and attention-deficit/ hyperactivity disorder. 464 Future studies will hopefully clarify whether such phenotypes are all simultaneously present in the same individuals.…”
