We examined the allelic association between the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene and alcoholism in 100 biologically unrelated Japanese alcoholics and 93 unrelated controls. Genomic DNA was prepared from peripheral white blood cells using the phenol-chloroform method. A 310-bp region surrounding the
A recent study showed an association between the dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) and smoking. The purpose of this study was to determine if the familial transmission of smoking is linked to variation at the DRD2 locus in a genetically informative sample. Subjects were identified in alcohol treatmen
