Association study of the adrenergic receptors and childhood‐onset mood disorders in Hungarian familiesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 141B Số 3 - Trang 227-233 - 2006

AbstractThe adrenergic system has been implicated in the etiology of depression
based on a number of lines of evidence, particularly, the mechanism of some
classes of antidepressants which increase the synaptic levels of norepinephrine.
Further, several genome scans for mood disorders, both unipolar and bipolar,
have indicated linkage to the chromosomal regions of 5q23–q33.3, 8p12–p11.2,
4p16, and... hiện toàn bộ
An examination of the behavioral and neuropsychological correlates of three ADHD candidate gene polymorphisms (DRD4 7+, DBH TaqI A2, and DAT1 40 bp VNTR) in hyperactive and normal children followed to adulthoodAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 141B Số 5 - Trang 487-498 - 2006
Russell A. Barkley, Karen Smith, Mariellen Fischer, Bradford Navia
AbstractSeveral candidate gene polymorphisms have been implicated in attention
deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), including DAT1 40bp VNTR, DRD4 7+, and
DBH TaqI A2 alleles. We used the Milwaukee longitudinal study of hyperactive
(n = 122) and normal (n = 67) children to compare participants with and without
these respective polymorphisms on ADHD‐related behavioral ratings at childhood,

Association between the dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene and obsessive‐compulsive disorderAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 116B Số 1 - Trang 55-59 - 2003

AbstractObsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is a frequent and disabling anxiety
disorder. Dopamine (DA) might be involved in its pathophysiology, therefore DA
receptors are candidate genes in OCD. A 48‐base pairs (bp) polymorphism located
in the third exon of the dopamine receptor type 4 (DRD4) gene has been
described. Previous case control studies, however, have reported inconclusive
results in O... hiện toàn bộ
Association study of polymorphisms in the glutamate transporter genes SLC1A1, SLC1A3, and SLC1A6 with schizophreniaAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 144B Số 3 - Trang 271-278 - 2007

AbstractBased on the glutamatergic dysfunction hypothesis for schizophrenia
pathogenesis, we have been performing systematic association studies of
schizophrenia with the glutamate receptor and transporter genes. We report here
association studies of schizophrenia with three glutamate transporter genes
SLC1A1, SLC1A3, and SLC1A6 encoding the glutamate transporters EAAT3, EAAT1, and
EAAT4, respecti... hiện toàn bộ
Dopaminergic mutations: Within‐family association and linkage in multiplex alcohol dependence familiesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 147B Số 4 - Trang 517-526 - 2008

AbstractAnimal and human studies of addiction indicate that the D2 dopamine
receptor (DRD2) plays a critical role in the mechanism of drug reward. D2
receptor density in the brains of alcoholics has been shown to be reduced
relative to controls. Previous studies of DRD2 in association with alcohol
dependence using variation in the TaqI A locus were highly controversial.
Recently, a synonymous muta... hiện toàn bộ
Association study of CREB1 with Major Depressive Disorder and related phenotypesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 150B Số 8 - Trang 1128-1132 - 2009

AbstractCyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) has been implicated
in behavioral models of anxiety and depression, antidepressant response in
humans, and suicide. One group reported a female‐specific association of the
CREB1 gene in early‐onset Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), while another found
no evidence of association with this phenotype. In this study, we sought to
examine the ev... hiện toàn bộ
Study of MECP2 gene in Rett syndrome variants and autistic girlsAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 119B Số 1 - Trang 102-107 - 2003

AbstractMutations in MECP2 gene account for approximately 80% of cases of Rett
syndrome (RTT), an X‐linked severe developmental disorder affecting young girls,
as well as for most cases of Preserved Speech Variant (PSV), a mild RTT variant
in which autistic behavior is common. The aim of this study is to determine
whether MECP2 mutations are responsible for PSV only or may cause other forms of

Relationship between dopaminergic neurotransmission, alcoholism, and reward deficiency syndromeAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 132B Số 1 - Trang 29-37 - 2005

AbstractIn this review, we described the neural substrates underlying Reward
Deficiency syndrome which, in turn, is posited to underlie alcohol dependency.
Alcoholism is a complex, multifactorial disorder that results from the interplay
between genetic and environmental factors. The D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) has
been associated with pleasure, and the DRD2 A1 allele has been referred to as a

Association between serotonin transporter gene polymorphism and eating disorders outcome: A 6‐year follow‐up studyAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics - Tập 159B Số 5 - Trang 491-500 - 2012

AbstractEating disorder patients show different long‐term outcomes, and
trait‐related alterations of serotonergic function, which might be related with
the serotonin transporter (5‐HTT) gene. We studied the relationships between
5‐HTTLPR polymorphism, eating specific and general psychopathology and the
long‐term outcome of anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) patients. We
evaluated the d... hiện toàn bộ
