The dopamine hypothesis of schizophrenia proposed that dopaminergic pathways are involved in the etiology of the disease. In particular, interest among psychiatrists has focused on the D, receptor because of its affinity to antipsychotic drugs. Recently a new dopamine receptor gene has been cloned,
Dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) was demonstrated to have important implications in schizophrenia, because it binds antipsychotic drugs and is abundant in the limbic system of the brain. Several groups attempted to find an association between a serine-to-glycine polymorphism at codon 9 of the DRD3 gene (
