Table 2. Brain nor-β-CIT binding in the two groups by 5-HTTLPR polymorphism.
Striatum | Thalamus | Midbrain | Tem (R) | Tem (L) | Midfront | ||
l homozygotes (16) | Mean | 2.65 | 1.09* | 1.29 | 0.27 | 0.26 | 0.34 |
SD | 0.33 | 0.19 | 0.12 | 0.06 | 0.05 | 0.1 | |
s carriers (14) | Mean | 2.75 | 1.25* | 1.36 | 0.28 | 0.27 | 0.31 |
SD | 0.28 | 0.17 | 0.18 | 0.09 | 0.11 | 0.15 |
= Thalamus 5-HTT binding was slightly lower in l homozygotes compared to s carriers (p = 0.006). Tem (L/R) = left/right temporal region.
