Research Abstract |
Candidate genes which are thought to be biologically involved in suicidal behaviour were examined for association with suicide. For example, regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2) gene was associated with suicide using its polymorphisms, and the level of RGS2 protein was altered in suicidal postmortem brains. Additionally, we reported the results of other genetic association studies and screening examination with microarray in suicide.
