Polymorphisms of the gene encoding the serotonin transporter-specifically, length variation in the serotonin--transporter-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR), a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the 5-HTTLPR (rs25531), and variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in the second intron 2 (STin2)--have been implicated in the development of post-stroke depression (PSD).
