In genetics, rs6313 also called T102C or C102T is a gene variation—a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)—in the human HTR2A gene that codes for the 5-HT2A receptor. The SNP is a synonymous substitution located in exon 1 of the gene where it is involved in coding the 34th amino acid as serine.[1]
As 5-HT2A is a neuroreceptor the SNP has been investigated in connection with brain functions and neuropsychiatric disorders, and it is perhaps the most investigated SNP for its gene. Two other SNPs in HTR2A have also received much attention: rs6311 and His452Tyr (rs6314). The T102C polymorphism has been shown to be in complete linkage disequilibrium with the rs6311 (A-1438G). [2] A less well investigated SNP of this gene is rs7997012.
Meta-analyses seem to indicate that the SNP is directly associated with schizophrenia,[3] with Alzheimer's disease,[4] and two initial studies seem to indicate that it is not associated with Parkinson's disease.[5]
There have been multiple studies of the effect of this SNP on clozapine treatment response in schizophrenia.[6] A meta-analysis published in 1998 found an association.[7]
