Polymorphism in the oxytocin promoter region in patients with lactase non-persistence is not related to symptoms.

BMC gastroenterology - 30 Nov 2009

Truedsson Mikael, Carlson Joyce, Simrén Magnus, Ohlsson Bodil

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oxytocin and the oxytocin receptor have been demonstrated in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and have been shown to exert physiological effects on gut motility. The role for oxytocin in the pathophysiology of GI complaints is unknown. The aim of this study was to examine genetic variations or polymorphism of oxytocin (OXT) and its receptor (OXTR) genes in patients with GI complaints without visible...
