More importantly, however, it will be crucial to determine (1) how this functional locus interacts with the
allelic expression imbalance markers downstream (and which the actual locus conferring
allelic expression imbalance is, see in what follows)(2), what the relative contribution to a net effect
on serotonin transporter gene expression is in vivo and (3) how (if at all) this translates into protein abundance and actual genetically determined differential functioning of the serotonergic synapse.
