The human dopamine D 2 receptor gene (DRD 2 ) has received considerable attention for the past several years as a potential candidate that may affect susceptibility to alcoholism. The association studies that compared the frequencies of alleles of DRD 2 gene between alcoholics and control groups hav
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
Controversial results possibly suggesting an association between Tourette's Syndrome (TS) and excess of homozygosity at a Msc I polymorphism in the Dopamine D3 receptor (DRD,) gene have recently been reported. Since a relationship between Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Tourette's Syndrome (
