Functional polymorphisms in dopamine-related genes: Effect on neurocognitive functioning in HIV+ adults
14 Nov 2011
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Dopaminergic dysfunction is a putative mechanism underlying HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders. Dopamine transporter (DAT), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), and catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) have been specifically implicated. We report analyses examining the main effects of functional polymorphisms within dopamine-modulating genes, as well as their interactive effects with disease...
