Disgust is a basic emotion that involves feelings of revulsion and withdrawal behavior from dangerous/infectious situations. Very little is known about the genetic basis of disgust sensitivity. The dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) genes have been implicated in neuroticism-related traits and approach-related temperaments which are supposed to be associated with disgust sensitivity. The present study aimed to investigate the possible relationship between disgust sensitivity and COMT Val158Met and DRD4 variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphisms in healthy subjects.
