Based on prior evidence that OT and AVP are dysregulated in WS (Dai et al., 2012), we compared expression of OXTR (ID: 206825_at) and AVPR1A (ID: 206250_x_at) between eight WS patients (mean age = 4.87 years; standard deviation = 2.10) and nine age and sex matched healthy controls (CNTL; M = 4.77; SD = 1.79; Figure 1). The gene discussed is AVPR1A; the disease is Werner syndrome.
