Change in DNA methylation patterns of SLC6A4 gene in the gastric mucosa in functional dyspepsia.
BACKGROUND: The neurochemical serotonin (5-HT) is an important signaling molecule in the gastrointestinal motor and sensory functions. A key regulator of 5-HT levels is the transmembrane serotonin transporter (5-HTT; SLC6A4) that governs the reuptake of 5-HT. Recent studies have indicated 5-HTT expr...
