Individual variability in responses to stimulant drugs may influence risk of stimulant abuse
and treatment response. However, the genetic determinants of this variability have yet to be …

A 40 base polymorphism of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) has been
described in the 3′ untranslated region of the gene (SLC6A3) coding for the dopamine …

Several groups have reported an association between the 10‐repeat allele of a dopamine
transporter (DAT1) 3′ UTR VNTR variant and ADHD but the finding has not been …

Polymorphism of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) in the 3′ untranslated
region of exon 15 of the SLC6A3 gene, coding for the dopamine transporter (DAT), was …

Susceptibility to drug dependence and drug-induced psychoses is influenced not only by the
pharmacological effects of the drug but also by the genetic factors of the individual. To clarify …

OBJECTIVE: The dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene has been implicated in attention-
deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), although the mechanism by which it exerts its effects …

Epistatic gene–gene interactions could contribute to the heritability of complex multigenic
disorders, but few examples have been reported. Here, we focus on the role of aberrant …

Genetic research on cocaine dependence (CD) may help clarify our understanding of the
disorder as well as provide novel insights for effective treatment. Since dopamine …

Human dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) has a variable number of tandem repeats
(VNTR) in its 3′-untranslated region (UTR). The association between the VNTR …

Background The 10-repeat allele of a variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism
in the 3'-untranslated region of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) has been associated …
