Dopamine transporter, gender, and number of sexual partners among young adults.

European journal of human genetics : EJHG - 1 Mar 2007

Guo Guang, Tong Yuying, Xie Cui-Wei, Lange Leslie A

Abstract excerpt

The dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) codes for a dopamine transporter protein, which limits the level and duration of dopamine receptor activation. The DAT1 gene is a strong candidate gene for reward-seeking behavior. This article reports compelling evidence for the association between the 40 bp variable number of tandem repeats in the DAT1 gene and the self-reported number of sexual partners among young adults...
