Abstract excerpt
We tested if common mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) gene variants contribute to the variability in neuroendocrine control and behavioral reactivity as observed in humans. For that purpose we screened for genetic variability and tested functionality of the identified human MR gene variants in vitro. Four haplotypes were tested for transactivational capacity in vitro and showed profound significant differences when...
