reported the existence of an association between schizophrenia and homozygosity of a BUZZ polymorphism in the first exon of the dopamine D3 receptor (DRDS) gene. In response to this report, further studies were conducted; however, these studies yielded conflicting results. In the present study, we e

The dopamine D4 receptor is of major interest in schizophrenia research due to its high affinity for the atypical neuroleptic clozapine and a high degree of variability in the receptor gene (DRD4). Although several genetic linkage analyses performed on schizophrenia multiplex families from different
reported identifying one missense nucleotide mutation from C to G resulting in a substitution of serine with cysteine at codon 311 in the third intracellular loop of the dopamine D2 receptor in schizophrenics. Arinami et al. 119941 reported finding a positive association between the Cys311 variant a
DNA fragments from a genomic library were used to establish the partial structure of the human dopamine D3 receptor gene (DRD3). Its coding sequence contains 6 exons and stretches over 40,000 base pairs. The complete DRD3 transcript and three shorter variants, in which the second andor third exon ar
## A missense polymorphism (glycine to serine) in the first exon of the dopamine D3 (DRD3) gene was examined in a sib-pairs schizophrenia collection by the transmission test for linkage disequilibrium (TDT). No association due to linkage disequilibrium was detected using TDT. Additionally, no evide
