Abstract excerpt
The dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene has a Taq1A restriction fragment length polymorphism yielding two alleles, A1 and A2. It has been shown that the subjects with less frequent allele, the A1 allele, have lower density and diminished function of DRD2 in the striatum, compared to those with no A1 allele. In the present study, the relationship between this polymorphism and prolactin response to nemonapride, an...
