Slovenia is a country with one of the world’s highest suicide rates. Association of functional polymorphism 68G>C (Cys23Ser) and a promoter polymorphism -995G>A of serotonin receptor 2C (HTR2C) with suicide has not been determined yet. Study showed a significant association between female suicide victims and polymorphism 68G>C. The significance remained when we combined alleles of female and male populations. An excess of GG genotype and allele G was observed. Haplotype analysis on female population showed marginal association of haplotype G-C with suicide.
