The oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) is associated with autism spectrum disorder: a meta-analysis.

Molecular psychiatry - 1 May 2015

LoParo D, Waldman I D

Abstract excerpt

The oxytocin receptor gene (OXTR) has been studied as a risk factor for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) owing to converging evidence from multiple levels of analysis that oxytocin (OXT) has an important role in the regulation of affiliative behavior and social bonding in both nonhuman mammals and humans. Inconsistency in the effect sizes of the OXTR variants included in association studies render it unclear...
