Dopamine D2 receptor promoter polymorphism: no association with schizophrenia.

Abstract excerpt

A functional polymorphism in the promoter region of the dopamine D2 receptor gene, the -141C Del allele, which may be associated with schizophrenia susceptibility, has previously been described in a Japanese sample. The present study was done in order to examine whether such an association would also be found in a North American schizophrenia patient population. However, analysis of the -141C Del allele frequency...
