Association between a polymorphism in the promoter region of the dopamine D2 receptor gene and schizophrenia in Japanese subjects: replication and evaluation for antipsychotic-related features
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
To replicate a previously found negative association between the Del allele of the -141C Ins/Del polymorphism in the 5'-promoter region of the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) and schizophrenia in Japanese subjects and to examine whether this polymorphism is related to the features of antipsychotic drug treatment, we genotyped 94 control subjects and 234 schizophrenic patients. The schizophrenic patients had a...
