Overview

In genetics, rs1799913, also called A779C, is a gene variation—a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)— in the TPH1 gene. It is located in intron 7.[1]

The SNP association with schizophrenia has been examined in several studies, though as of 2007 with no definitive conclusion.[2]

One study has found that the SNP may be associated with heroin addiction.[3] Other study relate it to figural and numeric creativity.[4]

A218C (rs1800532) is another SNP in the same intron in the same gene.[1]
