Dopamine transporter (DAT) gene variants do not appear to provide widespread contributions to the etiology of schizophrenia spectrum disorders, according to linkage studies [Persico et al., 1995: Am J Psychiatry 152:134-136]. They may, however, produce modifying effects, more readily detectable in s

Recent findings of an association between schizophrenia and a T102C polymorphism at the 5-HT 2a receptor gene (particularly with genotype 1-2 and 2-2 and allele 2) prompted us to investigate this marker in familial Irish schizophrenic patients, their relatives, and ethnically matched unrelated contr
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
Human family and twin studies have established considerable heritable components in personality traits as assessed by selfreport questionnaires. Recently, an association between a functional polymorphism in the upstream regulatory region of the serotonin transporter gene and neuroticismrelated perso
## Abstract Schizophrenia is a complex disorder with a multifactorial polygenic inheritance with several genes conferring susceptibility at many genetic locations, each with a small effect. An attractive candidate gene for schizophrenia is the catecholβ__O__βmethyltransferase (__COMT__) gene, which
