Abstract excerpt
We assessed the role of some dopamine metabolism genes in the genetic susceptibility to migraine. We performed an association study using three functional polymorphisms: a 48-base-pair (bp) tandem repeat in the D4 dopamine receptor gene ( DRD4), a 40-bp tandem repeat in the dopamine transporter gene ( DAT) and a dinucleotide repeat in the dopamine beta-hydroxylase ( DBH) gene. Allelic and genotypic frequencies...
