A comprehensive in silico investigation unravels the structural and functional consequences of non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms in human OXTR gene by Puja Mazumder, Shuvo Chandra Das, Sobuj Mondol, Ibrahim Khalil Afif, Mithu Howlader, Shipan Das Gupta, Md. Murad Hossain, Md. Mijanur Rahman

“…Molecular docking studies revealed that three nsSNPs (P95L, P170Q, and R272C) had lower binding affinity with oxytocin which might cause the aberrant function of OXTR. Malfunctions of the OXTR protein might have detrimental effects on several signaling cascades that ultimately impact on several psychiatric or neurological disorders. …”
