Converging Evidence for the Association of Functional Genetic Variation in the Serotonin Receptor 2a Gene With Prefrontal Function and Olanzapine Treatment
AssociationN=887Giuseppe Blasi et al.(2013)· JAMA Psychiatry

Association study of 55 SNPs in 887 Hungarian adults examining genetic predisposition to aggression measured by the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire. The HTR2A rs7322347 intronic variant showed significant association with aggression after Bonferroni correction (p = 0.0007), with carriers of the minor A allele showing lower aggression levels. The DRD4 rs916455 variant also showed nominal significance (p = 0.0275) but did not survive multiple testing correction.

About ADRA1A

Alpha-1-adrenergic receptors (alpha-1-ARs) are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. They activate mitogenic responses and regulate growth and proliferation of many cells. There are 3 alpha-1-AR subtypes: alpha-1A, -1B and -1D, all of which signal through the Gq/11 family of G-proteins and different subtypes show different patterns of activation. This gene encodes alpha-1A-adrenergic receptor. Alternative splicing of this gene generates four transcript variants, which encode four different isoforms with distinct C-termini but having similar ligand binding properties.
