The dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) gene exhibits a large amount of expressed polymorphism in humans. To understand the evolutionary history of the first exon of DRD4which in humans contains a polymorphic 12bp tandem duplication, a polymorphic 13bp deletion, and other rare variants-we examined the homol

Possible involvement of receptors in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia has been suggested. In this study we searched systematically for polymorphisms in the 5-franking region of the 1 receptor. Genetic variation in this region could reduce the expression of the gene, and this suggestion is compatibl
