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
No allelic association between Parkinson's disease and dopamine D2, D3, and D4 receptor gene polymorphisms

reported the existence of an association between schizophrenia and homozygosity of a BUZZ polymorphism in the first exon of the dopamine D3 receptor (DRDS) gene. In response to this report, further studies were conducted; however, these studies yielded conflicting results. In the present study, we e
The dopamine D4 receptor is of major interest in schizophrenia research due to its high affinity for the atypical neuroleptic clozapine and a high degree of variability in the receptor gene (DRD4). Although several genetic linkage analyses performed on schizophrenia multiplex families from different
