Personality traits and dopamine receptors (D2 and D4): linkage studies in families of alcoholics.

American journal of medical genetics - 15 Dec 1999

Hill S Y, Zezza N, Wipprecht G, Locke J, Neiswanger K

Abstract excerpt

Activation of the mesolimbic dopamine pathway appears to promote drug- and alcohol-seeking behavior in laboratory animals. Results for association and linkage analysis between various alcohol dependence phenotypes and the dopamine receptors have been quite mixed. Similarly, both positive and negative results have been presented concerning dopamine receptor genes and temperament. Cloninger has postulated that the...
