The researchers found a mutation in the gene encoding for the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor, a protein that transmits brain signals, which they say more than doubles the risk of suicidal behavior in those who carry it. ``Individuals who carry the (mutation) are at higher risk when a situation that triggers their suicidal tendencies will occur,'' neurobiologist Dr. Pavel Hrdina, who co-wrote the landmark study, told the newspaper. The study looked at patients suffering from major depression, so its results do not apply to healthy people who may attempt suicide as a one-time ``cry for help'' or to gain attention, doctors said. Suicide is the world's ninth leading cause of death. ===== <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
