The relationships of oxytocin receptor gene variants (rs53576 and rs2254298) and serum oxytocin levels with psychiatric symptoms and psychiatric diagnosis in adolescents with obesity
Abstract:Objectives
We aimed to investigate the relation of oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene variants (rs53576 and rs2254298) and serum oxytocin (OXT) levels with psychiatric symptoms in healthy Turkish adolescents and matched adolescents with obesity.
Methods
A total of 250 adolescents with obesity and age and gender-matched 250 healthy adolescents were included in this study. Attachment properties, anxiety, and depression were evaluated with self-reports while diagnoses were ascertained with KIDDIE-SADS-PL Turkish ver… Show more
