Abstract
⺠The serotonin 5HTR2C receptor mediates HPA axis activation during stress. ⺠A functional polymorphism of the 5HTR2C gene predicted HPA axis response to stress. ⺠Specifically, in our study rs6318 moderated cortisol levels in response to stress. ⺠Genetic variation in 5HTR2C may be associated with risk for cardiovascular disease.
