“…However, no evidence has been found for a role of TPH2 in schizophrenia, despite several studies in this area (De Luca et al, 2005a;Higashi et al, 2007;Shiroiwa et al, 2010;Tee et al, 2010;Kim and Yoon, 2011;Zhang et al, 2011). It is noteworthy that a certain number of these studies focused mainly on the rs4570625 (-703G/T), a common polymorphic SNP in the putative promoter (Kennedy et al, 2003) that has been reported to be associated with the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Walitza et al, 2005), emotional processing (Herrmann et al, 2007), personality traits, and disorders related to emotional dysregulation (Gutknecht et al, 2007;Reuter et al, 2007). The promoter polymorphism rs4570625 of TPH2 has been also found to affect the responsiveness of the amygdala, a structure critically involved in the regulation of emotional behaviors (Brown et al, 2005;Canli et al, 2005).…”
