Distribution of a novel mutation in the first exon of the human dopamine D4 receptor gene in psychotic patients.

Biological psychiatry - 1 Oct 1993

Abstract excerpt

Disturbances in dopaminergic transmission have been implicated in the etiology of psychotic disorders. Interindividual differences in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequences coding for dopamine receptor proteins might contribute to the genetic background of these diseases. We have identified a variation in exon 1 of the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene, which is characterized by a polymorphic 12 base pair (bp)...
