Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to: 1) replicate previously reported associations between dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) polymorphisms and antipsychotic (AP) response in a clozapine (CLZ) response sample; and 2) explore possible associations of polymorphisms across dopamine D5 receptor gene (DRD5) as well as other DRD4 regions. METHODS: DRD4 exon III 48-bp, intron I (G)(n), and 120-bp repeat polymorphisms, and...
