Converging evidence implicates the dopamine D3 receptor gene in vulnerability to schizophrenia
AssociationN=446Fuquan Zhang et al.(2011)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

A pharmacogenetic study of 446 schizophrenic patients (221 males, 225 females) from West Siberia investigating associations between 41 SNPs in dopaminergic genes and antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia. The study found rs1799836 in MAOB gene associated with hyperprolactinemia in males (OR=0.748, p=0.048), and rs40184 and rs3863145 in SLC6A3 gene associated with hyperprolactinemia in the risperidone/paliperidone subgroup (OR=0.341, p=0.021 and OR=0.362, p=0.043, respectively), indicating protective effects.

DRD3, but not COMT or DRD2, genotype affects executive functions in healthy and first‐episode psychosis adolescents
AssociationN=446Igor Bombin et al.(2008)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

A pharmacogenetic association study of 446 schizophrenia patients from West Siberia examined 41 SNPs in dopamine pathway genes (DRD1, DRD2, DRD3, DRD4, SLC6A3, MAOA, MAOB) for association with antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (HPRL). rs1799836 in MAOB showed significant protective association with HPRL in men (OR=0.748, p=0.048), while rs40184 (OR=0.341, p=0.021) and rs3863145 (OR=0.362, p=0.043) in SLC6A3 showed protective effects specifically in risperidone/paliperidone-treated patients.

Does parental expressed emotion moderate genetic effects in ADHD? an exploration using a genome wide association scan
AssociationN=909Edmund J.S. Sonuga‐Barke et al.(2008)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

This genome-wide association study examined whether parental expressed emotion moderates genetic effects on ADHD symptoms and conduct disorder in 909 family trios (600,000 SNPs genotyped). No gene-by-environment interactions reached genome-wide significance. Nominal effects were observed with 36 uncorrected interaction P-values <10⁻⁵, implicating both novel genes and candidate genes. SNPs in SLC1A1 and NRG3 emerged as candidate genes for follow-up, though the authors emphasize these findings are preliminary and require replication.

SNPs in dopamine D2 receptor gene (DRD2) and norepinephrine transporter gene (NET) are associated with continuous performance task (CPT) phenotypes in ADHD children and their families
AssociationN=364Kollins SH et al.(2008)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

Haplotype-tagging SNP analysis in 364 individuals from 152 ADHD families identified significant associations between commission errors and SNPs in the DRD2 gene (rs2075654, rs1079596) and between reaction time variability and a SNP in the NET gene (rs3785155). These findings suggest that commission errors and reaction time variability are valid ADHD endophenotypes linked to dopaminergic and noradrenergic pathways.

About DRD3

This gene encodes the D3 subtype of the five (D1-D5) dopamine receptors. The activity of the D3 subtype receptor is mediated by G proteins which inhibit adenylyl cyclase. This receptor is localized to the limbic areas of the brain, which are associated with cognitive, emotional, and endocrine functions. Genetic variation in this gene may be associated with susceptibility to hereditary essential tremor 1. Alternative splicing of this gene results in transcript variants encoding different isoforms, although some variants may be subject to nonsense-mediated decay (NMD). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
