Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxytocin function is associated with a range of human traits and is often indexed by common polymorphisms of the receptor gene OXTR. Little is known however about the functional significance of these polymorphisms. OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of common polymorphisms of OXTR on transcription expression in human neural cells. METHOD: The impact of four common OXTR SNPs (rs1042778, rs4686302,...
