## Abstract The presynaptic dopamine transporter in nigral dopaminergic neurons confers susceptibility to the cytotoxic effects of the neurotoxic metabolite of 1βmethy1β4βphenylβ1,2,3,6βtetrahydropyridine. Polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter might influence the susceptibility to such toxins.
## Abstract Multiple studies have reported an association between attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the 10βrepeat allele of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism in the 3β²βuntranslated region (3β²UTR) of the dopamine transporter gene (__DAT1__). Yet, recent metaβanaly
