Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The role of genetics in the susceptibility to functional dyspepsia (FD) remains unclear. We attempted to clarify the association between FD and polymorphisms in SLC6A4. In addition, rs5981521 (C>T) in the pri-microRNA 325 (pri-miR-325) coding region was also investigated. METHODS: The study was performed in 395 subjects (172 with no upper abdominal symptoms and 223 with FD, including...
