Abstract excerpt
The C957T (rs6277) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the human dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene (DRD2) affects DRD2 mRNA stability and has been shown to predict striatal DRD2 availability (B(max)/K(D)) in vivo in man. Specifically, the C/C genotype is associated with low striatal DRD2 avail...
