Association and its forensic significance between HTR1A gene and the corresponding mental illness / 中国法医学杂志

ABSTRACT

HTR1A is a kind of receptor subtypes to express the most 5-HT in the brain of mammalian. Genetic variation in the gene through influencing the expression of receptors or changing the activity of the ligand binding to increase or decrease the function of 5-HT, so it played a key role in the pathogenesis of depression and other mental system diseases. The article reviewed the association between the genetic mutations of HTR1A and the corresponding mental system disease. Research the relationship of HTR1A gene and mood changes such as depression, panic, impulsive personality and its significance in forensic judicial authentication. To explore the causes of criminal mode from the perspective of gene - psychology - social model.
