Abstract excerpt
The dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. The present study aimed to investigate association of the DAT1 gene polymorphisms with schizophrenia in a Han Chinese population. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the DAT1 gene (rs2975223 and rs2455391) were tested in 368 patients with schizophrenia and 420 healthy...
