Although the association between the Ser9Gly polymorphism of the dopamine D3 receptor gene (DRD3) and schizophrenia has been investigated by many research groups, it is not known whether the Ser9Gly polymorphism alone or a variation in linkage disequilibrium may effect susceptibility to schizophrenia. We searched the 5' region of the DRD3 gene and found three novel polymorphisms: -712G/C, -205A/G, and Ala38Thr....
