Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between the polymorphism of serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region(5-HTTLPR) and slow transit constipation(STC). METHODS: Polymerase chain reaction was used to assess 5-HTTLPR polymorphism of SERT gene in 54 patients with STC and 100 healthy controls. RESULTS: The frequencies of serotonin transporter short/short(S/S) and allele S genotypes were significantly...
