The lower prevalence of S'-allele carriers among those who had committed speeding offences was statistically significant in females, while the lower prevalence of having been involved in a traffic accident was rather observed in males. PMID: 29407665
20. In the present study we systematically investigated the contribution of SNPs toward Social anxiety disorder by performing genotyping of 24 SNPs that have been reported previously in SAD or other psychiatric disorders.

For the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism, found that subnetworks related to cognitive control show less connections with other subnetworks in S-carriers compared to L-homozygotes. PMID: 27743374
26. The nursing diagnoses of risk for suicide and imbalanced nutrition are reported less often in 5-HTTLPR homozygotes of the high-expressing gene (LA). Carriers of the low-expressing genes (LG or S) have a worse response to interventions which aim to increase low self-esteem, indicating that they may need more intensive care in order to achieve the desired outcome. PMID: 29016262
27. Pilot study demonstrated an increase in the SLC6A4 promoter DNA methylation levels in the saliva of children and adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder. DNA methylation provides one important epigenetic mechanism through which environmental influences can affect psychiatric disease risk. PMID: 29102815
28. genetic association studies in population in Spain: Data suggest genetic polymorphisms in SLC6A4 promoter region are associated with ability to control food intake in overweight/obese subjects while in weight loss programs; SLC6A4 promoter polymorphisms interact with emotional eating to modulate weight loss. The biggest challenge for losing weight is the ability to control the amount of food eaten. PMID: 28766852

PMID: 29547643

32. Participants who assessed themselves with greater interdependence reported lower death anxiety/depression and showed decreased neural response to death-related words in emotion-related brain regions including the anterior cingulate, putamen, and thalamus. However, these results were evident in long/long allele carriers of the 5-HTTLPR but not in short/short allele carriers. PMID: 28921740
33. 5-HTTLPR S-allele carriers showed a more negative relation between stress exposure and connectivity of the executive control network than L-allele homozygotes, specifically in the pre/postcentral gyrus, striatum, and frontal pole. In the default mode network, found a positive association between the GxE and supramarginal gyrus connectivity. PMID: 27738993
34. Study found a significant interaction effect of the serotonin transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) and the polymorphism in the serotonin 1A receptor gene (rs6295) on the connectivity within the right frontoparietal network, specifically in the middle frontal gyrus and inferior parietal lobule. Mean connectivity in the right inferior parietal lobule was positively correlated with working memory performance. PMID: 28793232

Findings support the relevance of peripheral SLC6A4 promoter DNA methylation for frontal-limbic brain processes in healthy individuals, and provided some support for convergence across blood, saliva and epithelial tissues. Buccal epithelial cells may be most sensitive surrogate samples in DNA methylation studies to detect frontal-limbic brain associations. PMID: 28774705
37. The 5-HTTLPR polymorphism was associated with the rate of achievement of remission and tolerability of treatment: carriers of the SS genotype achieved remission less frequently and more frequently experienced side-effects. PMID: 27029447
38. A significant 5-HTTLPRxearly adversity interaction indicated that greater early adversity was associated with lower latent trait cortisol levels, but only among individuals with either L/L or S/L genotype.

41. Study shows that individuals homozygous for the long allele of the 5-HTTLPR gene respond to stressful events by reappraising their emotional meaning, which may hamper the harmful effect of stress on mental health. PMID: 28901577
42. The 5-HTTLPR polymorphism was associated with neuroticism in women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder. There is more evidence for a role of SERT polymorphisms in Postpartum Depression. PMID: 29082433

44. SERT binding in the diencephalon is reduced in insulin-resistant subjects independently of body weight, while hypothalamic SERT binding tends to be lower in obesity, with no difference between insulin-resistant and insulin-sensitive subjects. This suggests that the metabolic perturbations associated with obesity independently affect SERT binding within the diencephalon. PMID: 27626923
45. The current meta-analysis provides new evidence for the robustness of the interaction between stress and 5-HTTLPR in depression. PMID: 29031184
46. Serotonin transporter (5-HTT) is responsible for removing serotonin from the synaptic cleft, returning it to the presynaptic neuron, thereby determining the extent, duration and spatial domain of the serotonergic activation. PMID: 26860734
47. Study found that S-carriers, relative to LL-homozygous individuals, showed increased magnetoencephalography gamma band power within the amygdala for the late amygdala response to fearful expressions (i.e., after information had been processed within superior temporal sulcus) and not for the early response. PMID: 28580622
