Alleles and genotypes were designated either by the (+) and (−) symbols for the B2R gene insertion/deletion polymorphism, or by the initial of the polymorphic base for the four other polymorphisms.

  • 1-a Emax values (median; mean ± S.E.) expressed as a percentage of the maximal response to 5-HT (10 μM) established for each tissue at time 7 h.

  • 1-b EC50 values (median; mean ± S.E.) are nanomolar concentrations.

  • 1-c P = .023, compared to the CC genotype (Mann-Whitney).

  • 1-d P = .044, compared to the +/− genotype, P = .064 (nonsignificant), compared to the pooled values of the +/+ and +/− genotypes and P = .30 (nonsignificant), compared to the +/+ genotype (Mann-Whitney).

  • 1-e P = .027, compared to the +/− genotype, P = .07 (nonsignificant), compared with pooled values of the +/+ and +/− genotypes and P = .62 (nonsignificant), compared to the +/+ genotype (Mann-Whitney).
