Abstract excerpt
Amplification of the human dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) was performed by the polymerase chain reaction, and polymorphism of the VNTR locus was analyzed in a population sample of 176 randomly selected Japanese individuals. Genomic DNAs were extracted from whole blood, and the 3' untranslated r...
