Culture–gene coevolution of individualism–collectivism and the serotonin transporter gene
Culture-gene coevolutionary theory posits that cultural values have evolved, are adaptive and influence the social and physical environments under which genetic selection operates. Here, we examined the association between cultural values of individualism-collectivism and allelic frequency of the serotonin transporter functional polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) as well as the role this culture-gene asso...
متن کاملTesting the null hypothesis: comments on ‘Culture-gene coevolution of individualism–collectivism and the serotonin transporter gene’
Chiao & Blizinsky’s [1] recently published study, ‘Culture-gene coevolution of individualism–collectivism and the serotonin transporter gene’, addressed an important and under-studied area. It stands in contrast to the dogma that, despite the dramatic cultural and biological diversity of contemporary humans, adaptive genetic changes and especially adaptive population differences have been limit...
متن کاملCorrelation of serotonin transporter gene polymorphism with temperament in Persian medicine
Background: Despite its effectiveness, there are still many concerns and questions about the principles and therapeutic methods of traditional medicine (TM). In other words, in order to accept TM as a reliable health care system, its proficiency need to be declared through modern scientific research. One of the major determinants of Persian medicine (PM) which is practically utilized in disease...
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 کاملthe study of aaag repeat polymorphism in promoter of errg gene and its association with the risk of breast cancer in isfahan region
چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...
