The association between the dopamine D4 receptor (D4DR) 16 amino acid repeat polymorphism and novelty seeking.

Molecular psychiatry - 1 Nov 1996

Malhotra A K, Virkkunen M, Rooney W, Eggert M, Linnoila M, Goldman D

Abstract excerpt

Ebstein and colleagues have recently reported a significant association between the 7-repeat allele of the dopamine D4 receptor (D4DR) 16 amino acid repeat polymorphism and the personality trait of Novelty Seeking (NS) in 124 Israeli subjects. This study, and another study conducted in the US (al...
