Effect of model choice in genetic association studies: DRD4 exon III VNTR and cigarette use in young adults.

American journal of medical genetics. Part B, Neuropsychiatric genetics : the official publication of the International Society of Psychiatric Genetics - 1 Apr 2011

Das Debjani, Tan Xiaoyun, Easteal Simon

Abstract excerpt

A major concern with the vast literature associating the highly polymorphic 48 bp VNTR in exon III of the human dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4) with various behavioral phenotypes is the lack of concordance between studies. Part of the problem arises from the absence of a universally accepted scheme for pooling the large number of low frequency genotypes into appropriate categories. Here, we investigated the...
