            Figure 2. Image of an agarose gel with a representative genotyping of
            the  SLC6A4 gene. Channels 1 – 7 show amplification products from
            individuals under study. Channel 8 (CN) is the negative control, and
            channel 9 (M) is the 100 base pair (bp) molecular weight marker (100 bp
            DNA ladder). Note: 12/12 refers to homozygous normal (299  bp),
            12/10 refers to heterozygous (299 bp and 265 bp), and 10/10 refers to
