rs53576 is a silent G to A change in the oxytocin receptor (OXTR) gene.
The blog Not Exactly Rocket Science discusses that Americans with (G;G) tend to be more sensitive parents, more empathetic and less lonely than those with an ‘A’. In a Korean population people with (G;G) were less likely to seek support from their peers.

[PMID 19934046] Oxytocin receptor genetic variation relates to empathy and stress reactivity in humans. With a blog summary, shows that people with the (G;G) genotype were better able to discern the emotional state of others than those who carried the A-allele.
