Abstract excerpt
We assessed the role of four candidate genes encoding proteins involved in dopaminergic transmission, the dopamine transporter (DAT), the dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2), and the main catabolic enzymes of dopamine, monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) and B (MAOB), through allelic association studies in a popu...
