“…Further SNPs were included in the present study based on previous association findings in nonmental diseases as well as known functional relevance: NPY: SNP1 (rs16157), SNP2 (rs16147, -485T/C [Itokawa et al, 2003] analogous to -399C/T [Mottagui-Tabar et al, 2005;Lindberg et al, 2006]), SNP3 (rs16139, 1128T/C, Leu-7-Pro [Karvonen et al, 1998]), SNP4 (rs9785023, 1258G/A [Skibola et al, 2005]), SNP5 (rs16474); NPY Y1: SNP1 (rs12507653), SNP2 (rs12510104), SNP3 (rs7687423, PstI C/T [Herzog et al, 1997]), SNP4 (rs4691075); NPY Y2: SNP1 (rs11099992), SNP2 (rs12507396), SNP3 (rs1047214), SNP4 (rs11728843); NPY Y5: SNP1 (rs4234955), SNP2 (rs11724320), SNP3 (rs11946004, Gly-426-Gly [Rosenkranz et al, 1998;Blumenthal et al, 2002]). In the present study, SNPs were named using ''rs'' numbers and the respective alleles were called according to NCBI single nucleotide polymorphism database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/projects/SNP/).…”
