COMT genotype, gender and cognition in community-dwelling, older adults.

Neuroscience letters - 6 Dec 2006

Abstract excerpt

A common polymorphism (Val158Met) in the gene encoding for the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) enzyme has been associated with differences in prefrontal cognitive function in schizophrenic patients and healthy adults. While several studies indicate that the Met allele is associated with bette...
