Rare Variants of the Serotonin Transporter Are Associated With Psychiatric Comorbidity in Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
Biological research for nursing ·doi:10.1177/1099800416633296

Alterations in serotonin signaling are suspected in the pathophysiology of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). By modulating the extracellular reuptake of serotonin, the serotonin transporter (SERT) acts as a key regulator of the bioavailabilit…

TPH gene polymorphisms are associated with disease perception and quality of life in women with irritable bowel syndrome.
Biological research for nursing ·doi:10.1177/1099800412466694

The aims of this exploratory study were to examine whether tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) gene polymorphisms are associated with psychosocial factors in women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). TPH is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynt…

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

BackgroundAlterations 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 TPH2.…
