Abstract:Oxytocin is associated with social behavior. In humans, several studies have assessed the relationship between social behavior and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-rs53576-within the gene encoding the oxytocin receptor (OXTR). Fewer studies have assessed the relationship between human sociability and the SNP rs3796863 found within the cluster of differentiation 38 (CD38) gene, whose product has been found to facilitate the secretion of oxytocin. This research examines whether these polymorphisms are asso… Show more
