Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Based on the dopamine hypothesis, the dopamine D1 receptor gene (DRD1) is considered to be a good candidate gene for bipolar disorder (BP). METHODS: In our study, three polymorphisms of the DRD1 gene, -800T/C, -48A/G, and 1403T/C, were analyzed in 286 BP trios. Both the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) and haplotype TDT were performed on the genotype data to test for the presence of linkage...
