Association between the serotonin transporter polymorphism (5HTTLPR) and subjective happiness level in Japanese adults
Background: An epidemiological study in the USA recently reported that variations in the serotonin transporter gene-linked polymorphic region (5HTTLPR) can influence subjective well-being or happiness; specifically, individuals with long polymorphisms (L-allele carriers), associated with increased serotonin reuptake activity, reported significantly higher levels of life satisfaction compared to...
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 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 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...
متن کاملInfluence of the Serotonin Transporter 5HTTLPR Polymorphism on Symptom Severity in Irritable Bowel Syndrome
5HTTLPR polymorphism of serotonin transporter yields short (S) and long (L) alleles. SS and LS genotypes are associated with reduced expression of serotonin transporter. This cross-sectional study investigated the association of 5HTTLPR with symptom severity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Patients with IBS (Rome III) and healthy controls were included. Genomic DNA was extracted from saliva,...
