Disturbances in dopaminergic activity may play an important role in the pathogenesis of manic depression. The effects of dopamine are mediated by at least five G protein coupled receptors, D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5. Recently, three separate research groups have cloned and characterized the D1 dopamine receptor, which localizes to 5q35.1. We undertook a linkage analysis between the D1 receptor polymorphisms and manic...
