## Abstract Tardive dyskinesia (TD) occurs in approximately 20% of patients exposed to long‐term antipsychotic treatment and may be influenced by genetic predisposition, in addition to clinical risk factors. In this study, we implemented a two‐step approach to identify susceptibility genes for TD.
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
Neuroleptic induced akathisia is a common and distressful extrapyramidal side effect of antipsychotic treatment. A significant proportion of the variability of its development has been left unexplained and has to be attributed to individual susceptibility. Since hereditary factors have been discusse
## Abstract Molecular components of the dopaminergic system may play an important role in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. In this study, we investigated the relationship of the Ser9Gly (S/G) polymorphism of the dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) and the variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polym
## Background: As peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (ppar-gamma) is frequently expressed in colon, its genetic polymorphism may play a role in the etiology of inflammatory bowel disease (ibd). the aims of the present study were to determine the distribution of ppar-gamma polymorphism
