Fluoxetine response in impulsive–aggressive behavior and serotonin transporter polymorphism in personality disorder

Abstract

This is the first study assessing the association between these polymorphisms and anti-impulsive response to fluoxetine in personality disorder. As the s genotype is associated with a poorer selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors response in major depression, bulimia nervosa and borderline personality disorder, it could represent a common biological background for SSRI response.
