> I wonder if the findings that SS varients of the serotonin transporter have poorer responces to SSRI's still holds?

Good question.

My first reaction would be to say that it probably does still hold. Although it might take 3 genes to produce the depression, it may only take 1 gene to prevent a certain drug mechanism to be rendered ineffective.

Just a guess.
