We investigated a variant of the dopamine D2 receptor gene (Ser311/Cys311 substitution) in Caucasian patients with schizophrenia (n = 273), delusional disorder (n = 621, bipolar I affective disorder (n = 63), and controls (n = 255). No evidence for association between the receptor variant and any of

A serine-to-cysteine mutation of dopamine D2 receptor at codon 311 (Cys311) was found to have higher frequency in schizophrenic patients than in normal controls in Japanese by Arinami et al. 11994: Lancet 343: 703-7041. The Cys311 allele was found to be associated with patients with younger ageof-on
