editwhy would the S/S polymorphism be associated with depression if it infact causes more serotonin in the synaptic cleft? It acts like an SSRI? What is the mechanism of this relationship?
Technically beyond the scope of a wikipedia talk page, but the "serotonergic model" of depression is not foolproof. Other neurotransmitters also take part. For example, enhancing dopamine can also successfully treat depression. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:BDED:C710:3C2D:E249:B47E:5501 (talk) 15:13, 16 November 2013 (UTC)

Suspected plagiarism--inappropriate writing style/tone
editThe penultimate sentence (specifically "we would expect that those replication studies which are closest in design to the original are the most likely to replicate—instead we find the opposite.") appears to be ripped straight out of an analysis or research article based on usage of "we" as a personal pronoun. The tone and style is inappropriate for a Wikipedia article. I would edit it, but I am not sufficiently versed in the subject to do so. Thor214 (talk) 22:57, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
No mention that 5-HTTLPR = SLC6A4 rs4795541
editI find it to be a glaring omission that two SNPs (rs25531 and rs25532) of the SLC6A4 gene are specifically mentioned as being associated with 5-HTTLPR, but the reference sequence for 5-HTTLPR itself (rs4795541) is not provided anywhere in an article dedicated to 5-HTTLPR (rs4795541)!

New Section
editI plan on adding a section on Insomnia and how there are studies exploring the 5-HTTPLR genotype's association with it. There are many studies that suggest the genotype plays a role in mood, temperament affective disorders, and sleep quality. Choi.kel (talk) 18:16, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
Completely irrelevant image
editWhat is the point of the image of chromosome 17? it should be removed and replaced with something more useful, like a genome browser screenshot of the gene with its isoforms 94.255.200.194 (talk) 21:59, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
