Variant in oxytocin receptor gene is associated with amygdala volume.

Psychoneuroendocrinology - 1 Jul 2011

Furman Daniella J, Chen Michael C, Gotlib Ian H

Abstract excerpt

The oxytocin system plays a significant role in modulating stress responses in animals and humans; perturbations in this system may contribute to the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorder. Attempts to identify clinically relevant genetic variants in the oxytocin system have yielded associations between polymorphisms of the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene and both autism and major depression. To date, however, little...
