[The main conclusions of the review are: i) there is an association between TPH2 and genetically defined behavioral variations, ii) the haplotypes, including some human TPH2 gene SNPs, can predict the risk of affective disorders and the sensitivity to antidepressant therapeutics, iii) mutations decreasing TPH2 activity produce negative effects on behavior and, possibly, on survival, iv) the effect of dietary tryptophan manipulations on human mood and behavior is modest compared with that of inhibitors of 5-HT transporter and monoamine oxidase.].
