Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of serotonin transporter (SERT) gene polymorphism in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) has been demonstrated. However, the expression of SERT mRNA and proteins in the colonic mucosa with different 5-HTT gene-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) genotypes remains unknown. We examined SERT mRNA and protein levels in colon biopsies from patients with different 5-HTTLPR genotypes and evaluated the...
