Abstract excerpt
In previous analyses of schizophrenic patients, multiple missense changes and one nonsense change were identified in the D5 dopamine receptor (DRD5) gene, but no sequence changes of likely functional significance were identified in the D1 dopamine receptor (DRD1) gene. In the present study, we ex...
