Abstract excerpt
The human dopaminergic system is a significant focal point of study in the fields of neuropsychiatry and pharmacology, plus it is also a promising nuclear DNA marker in studies of human genome diversity. In this study, we assayed six polymorphic markers in the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) in 482 unrelated individuals from nine ethnic populations of India. Our results demonstrate that the six markers are...
