Interaction Between the VNTR of the DAT1 Gene and DAT1 Methylation in Relation to Impulsivity in Combat Sports Athletes [PDF]
Background: Dopaminergic signaling is a key mechanism in behavioral regulation and impulse control. While DAT1 promoter methylation has been linked to behavioral dysregulation in clinical groups, its role in high-functioning populations such as elite ...

Associations Between DAT1 Gene VNTR Polymorphism and Impulsivity Dimensions in Individuals with Behavioural Addictions [PDF]
Background/Objectives: Impulsivity is a key psychological construct implicated in the onset and maintenance of behavioural addictions. Dysregulation of impulsivity is central to behavioural addictions, yet its genetic basis remains unclear.

Absence of association with DAT1 polymorphism and response to methylphenidate in a sample of adults with ADHD [PDF]
AbstractA polymorphism in the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) has been previously associated with ADHD and methylphenidate has been hypothesized to block the dopamine transporter. The goal of this study was to examine whether a 40‐bp variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) of DAT1 moderate response and adverse effects associated with methylphenidate ...

DAT1 5′-Un-Translated-Region Methylation Patterns as Bio-Markers of ADHD Psycho-Pathology: Contribution to Disease Prognosis and to Monitoring of a Successful Therapy [PDF]
Epigenetic modifications, such as changes in DNA methylation, have been linked to several diseases in recent years. The purpose of our study was to search for biomarkers that (using non-invasive techniques) could assist the clinician in the prognosis of ...

DAT1 and BDNF polymorphisms interact to predict Aβ and tau pathology. [PDF]
Previous work has associated polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter gene (rs6347 in DAT1/SLC6A3) and brain derived neurotrophic factor gene (Val66Met in BDNF) with atrophy and memory decline. However, it is unclear whether these polymorphisms relate to atrophy and cognition through associations with Alzheimer's disease pathology.
