Sexually dimorphic link between dopamine D2 receptor gene and neuroticism-anxiety.

Neuroreport - 25 Apr 2005

Wacker Jan, Reuter Martin, Hennig Jürgen, Stemmler Gerhard

Abstract excerpt

Prior theory-driven research probing the association between dopaminergic candidate genes and human personality has focused on the trait of novelty seeking. Here, we examined the association between the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) TaqI A polymorphism and two other personality traits, neuroticism-anxiety and agentic extraversion. We found no significant associations for agentic extraversion. However, for men, but...
