文摘In the letter to the editor, Dr. Comings et al. proposed a potential explanation of our findings that the L allele rather than S allele of 5-HTTLPR was associated with higher anxiety levels and reduced amygdala-prefrontal cortex (PFC) connectivity in Han Chinese[1], which demonstrated an 'allele reversal' in the genetics of the 5-HTTLPR gene in Asians versus Caucasians. The authors alleged that this 'allele reversal' might simply result from maternal age and suggested that we test this on our datasets. Unfortunately,
