Variation of the oxytocin/neurophysin I (OXT) gene in four human populations.

Journal of human genetics - 1 Jan 2008

Xu Yang, Xue Yali, Asan, Daly Allan, Wu Lijie, Tyler-Smith Chris

Abstract excerpt

Oxytocin is a short peptide with multiple functions in human biology and has been implicated in autism. We aimed to determine the normal pattern of variation around the oxytocin gene and resequenced it and its flanking regions in 91 individuals from four HapMap populations and one chimpanzee. We identified 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), all noncoding, including eight that were novel. Population...
