Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest that tardive dyskinesia (TD) may be associated with altered dopaminergic neurotransmission. We hypothesized that deranged dopamine degradation enzyme activities might be related to the susceptibility to TD through altered dopaminergic neurotransmission in the central nervous system. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between the gene polymorphisms of three...
