association between serotonin transporter gene polymorphism and recurrent aphthous stomatitis
background: anxiety-related traits have been attributed to sequence variability in the genes coding for serotonin transmission in the brain. two alleles, termed long (l) and short (s) differing by 44 base pairs, are found in a polymorphism identified in the promoter region of serotonin transporter gene. the presence of the short allele and ss and ls genotypes is found to be associated with the ...
متن کاملAssociation between the serotonin transporter promoter polymorphism and personality traits in a primarily female population sample.
The serotonin transporter (5-HTT) regulates serotonergic neurotransmission and is thought to influence emotion. A 5-HTT-linked polymorphic region (5-HTTLPR) has two common variants, short (s) and long (l). We previously found population and within-family associations between the lower-expressing s allele and neuroticism, a trait related to anxiety, hostility, and depression, on a standard measu...
متن کاملAssociation of Serotonin Transporter Gene Polymorphism with Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis
Background Recurrent Aphthous Stomatitis (RAS) is one of the most common diseases of the oral cavity all over the world (5-66%). RAS has a multifactorial etiology, while psychological factors such as stress and anger play a role in its manifestation. The serotonergic mechanisms particularly the serotonin-transporter gene (5-HTT) may affect the risk of psychological alterations and stress respon...
متن کاملAssociation between intelligence quotient and the 5HTTLPR polymorphism of human serotonin transporter coding gene
Association between common intelligence quotient (IQ) and S and L alleles of functional 5HTTLPR polymorphism causing respectively low and high expression of human serotonin transporter coding gene was studied in young (19-35 years, 50 men and 76 women) and older (>55 years, 39 men and 43 women) Caucasian subjects. They were students, scientists, technicians and administrative staff of Novosibir...
متن کاملAssociation between serotonin transporter gene polymorphism and smoking among Japanese males.
The serotoninergic system may be involved in smoking behavior because nicotine increases brain serotonin secretion, nicotine withdrawal decreases serotonin levels, and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antagonizes the response to nicotine. Compared with the L allele, the S allele of the polymorphism in the upstream regulatory region of the serotonin transporter gene is associated with de...
