Abstract excerpt

The D4 receptor has been shown to exist in several allelic forms (Van Tol et al., Nature 358:149-152, 1992) reflecting variation in the number of 48 base-pair sequence repeats in the putative cytoplasmic loop. We report a comparison of repeat length variation between schizophrenic patients and co...
