Persico A M, Macciardi F
Abstract excerpt
Dopamine transporter (DAT) gene variants do not appear to provide widespread contributions to the etiology of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, according to linkage studies [Persico et al., 1995: Am J Psychiatry 152:134-136]. They may, however, produce modifying effects, more readily detectable i...
