Associations of tryptophan hydroxylase gene polymorphisms with irritable bowel syndrome
Neurogastroenterology and motility ·doi:10.1111/j.1365-2982.2010.01623.x

BACKGROUND: Alterations in serotonin (5-HT) are suspected in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of serotonin and has two isoforms: TPH1 and TPH…
