The dopamine transporter (DAT1) is responsible for taking released dopamine back up into presynaptic terminals and terminating dopaminergic activity. It has been shown that cocaine binds to the dopamine transporter and blocks dopamine reuptake in a fashion that correlates with cocaine reward and rei
Potential contributions of dopamine transporter (DAT) gene variants to delusional disorder were investigated using association analysis. DAT gene VNTR polymorphisms were assessed in 61 delusional patients and 54 normal controls. No differences were found in either genotypic or allelic distributions.
