We examined the allelic association between the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene and alcoholism in 100 biologically unrelated Japanese alcoholics and 93 unrelated controls. Genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral white blood cells using the phenol-chloroform method. A 310-bp region surrounding the
Dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. Many studies have, however, failed to replicate the original association of DRD2 with schizophrenia and mood disorders. A possible reason for this may lie in the definition of phenotype, whic
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
## Abstract We mined the zebrafish genomic sequence database and identified contigs containing segments of several dopamine receptor genes. By using a polymerase chain reaction amplification strategy, we generated fullβlength cDNAs encoding a single dopamine D3 receptor and three distinct D2 recept
