5-HTTLPR and early childhood adversities moderate cognitive and emotional processing in adolescence.

<h4>Background</h4>Polymorphisms in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene (5-HTTLPR) and exposure to early childhood adversities (CA) are independently associated with individual differences in cognitive and emotional processing. Whether these two factors interact to infl...
