Abstract

Using single strand conformational analysis, we screened the complete coding sequence of the serotonin-lE (5-HT1E) receptor gene for the presence of DNA sequence variation in a sample of 157 unrelated individuals. We detected only a silent C → T transition at the third position of codon 177. The lack of significant mutations leading to structural variants of the human 5-HT1E receptor protein points to a high evolutionary conservation of this receptor protein.
