Oxytocin receptor gene polymorphism modulates the effects of social support on heart rate variability.

Biological psychology - 1 May 2016

Abstract excerpt

A large body of empirical research has demonstrated stress-buffering effects of social support. However, recent studies suggest that genetic variation of the oxytocin system (specifically, a common single nucleotide polymorphism, rs53576, of the oxytocin receptor gene) modulates the efficacy of social support. The timing and neurobiological basis of this genetic modulation were investigated using a standardized,...
