Dopamine D4 receptor gene and personality dimensions in Brazilian male alcoholics.

Psychiatric genetics - 1 Sept 1999

Bau C H, Roman T, Almeida S, Hutz M H

Abstract excerpt

The presence of the seven-repeat allele of the VNTR in the exon 3 of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) has been associated in healthy subjects to the personality trait of novelty seeking. The present study focuses these observations on a sample of Brazilian male alcoholics, evaluated on the temperament dimensions originally described by Cloninger. The genotypes observed are in agreement with those expected...
