Abstract excerpt
Abnormalities in dopamine neurotransmission at the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) have been implicated in both migraine and Parkinson's disease. Positive associations have also been found between polymorphisms within the DRD2 gene and both of these conditions. The -141C Ins/Del polymorphism in the DRD2 receptor gene is a putative functional polymorphism. The purpose of this study was to determine whether it and any...
