Abstract excerpt
The human dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene has been extensively studied as a candidate gene for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Both the 5' regulatory region and the coding sequence contain a number of polymorphisms. The most widely investigated polymorphism of the DRD4 gene is the 48 bp VNTR (Variable Number of Tandem Repeats) in the third exon. The promoter variants have received particular...
