Selection in the dopamine receptor 2 gene: New candidate SNPs for disease-related studies

2015-05-15

Abstract excerpt

Dopamine is a major neurotransmitter in the human brain and is associated with various diseases. Schizophrenia, for example, is treated by blocking the dopamine receptors type 2. In 2009, Shaner, Miller and Mintz stated that schizophrenia was the low fitness variant of a highly variable mental trait. We therefore explore whether the dopamine receptor 2 gene ( DRD2 ) underwent any selection processes. We acquired...
