The aim of the current study was to test the hypothesis that a functional polymorphism in the synaptosome associated protein 25 ( SNAP25 ) gene could be associated with impulsivity scores in a sample of young Colombian subjects. Impulsivity has been postulated as an endophenotype for several psychia...
