We studied the relationship between schizophrenia and the DdeI polymorphism in the 5 untranslated region (5UTR) of the dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) gene. This polymorphism is an A (A1 allele) to G (A2 allele) transition in the 5 UTR of exon 2 at bp -48 (A-48G). One hundred forty-eight schizophrenics
An interaction or link between dopamine D1 receptors and dopamine D2 receptors was found by a ligand competition method, using [3Hlraclopride to label dopamine D2 receptors and SCH 23390 to block dopamine D1 receptors. In the presence of endogenous or exogenous dopamine, SCH 23390 increased the bind
