title: No association between particular DRD3 and DAT gene polymorphisms and manic-depressive illness in a Spanish sample.
abstract: We have carried out an association study of a polymorphism in the 3'UTR of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT) and a polymorphism in the coding region of the D3 receptor gene (DRD3) in Spanish patients with manic depression and in controls. No significant differences in allelic and genotypic frequencies of either of these polymorphisms was found in patients compared with controls.
