In this study, we investigated the association between dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) exon III polymorphism and novelty seeking in 69 Japanese women. The group of subjects with long allele (โฅ โฅ โฅ 5 repeats) exhibited significantly elevated novelty seeking scores in comparison with subjects lacking the

A dysfunction of dopaminergic neurotansmission has been implicated in alcoholseeking behavior. Recently, a significant association between the seven-repeat allele (DRD4\*7R) of a 16 amino acid motif in the third exon of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4) and the personality trait of novelty seekin
This study was designed to assess the association between novelty seeking and D4DR gene polymorphism in the Japanese population. The 48 bp repeat polymorphism in the third exon of the dopamine D4 receptor gene of 153 normal female students was correlated with personality feature results from the Jap
