Dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene modulates individuals' empathic ability.

Social cognitive and affective neuroscience - 1 Sept 2014

Gong Pingyuan, Liu Jinting, Li She, Zhou Xiaolin

Abstract excerpt

Dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH), an enzyme that converts dopamine to norepinephrine, has broad influences on social functions. In this study, we examined to what extent two polymorphisms (-1021C/T and a 19 bp insertion/deletion) in DBH gene modulate individuals' empathic perception and response, which were measured, respectively, by reading the mind in the eyes test and the empathic concern subscale of...
