NT213739 genotype robustly predicts Oxtr expression.
(a) NAcc OXTR density was associated with NT213739 genotype
across three independent samples (Sample 1, adjusted
R2=0.81; Sample 2, adjusted
R2=0.90; Sample 3, adjusted
R2=0.74). OXTR density in the insula (Ins)
was not associated with NT213739. (b) (c) NAcc
Oxtr mRNA density was significantly associated with
NT213739 genotype (N=31, adjusted R2=0.69).
(c) NAcc Oxtr mRNA density is significantly correlated with
OXTR protein binding density (N=31). (d) Representative images
highlighting the differences between NT213739 genotypes in Oxtr
expression within the striatum, particulary the nucleus accumbens (NAcc). Black
scale bar represents 100 µm.* P <
1×10−8. Data is shown as individual OXTR density
(dpm/mg) or individual mRNA density (ROD) with trend line for the linear
regressions.
