The association between oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism (OXTR) and trait empathy.

Journal of affective disorders - 1 May 2012

Wu Nan, Li Zhi, Su Yanjie

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oxytocin exerts well accepted effects on one of the key social processes: empathy. Previous researches have demonstrated that oxytocin promotes emotional and cognitive aspects of empathy, by exogenous administration as well as on gene level. However, the effect of diverse gene locus haplotypes of oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) on trait empathy lacks reliable evidence. METHODS: Participants consisted of...
