DRD4 and DAT1 in ADHD: Functional neurobiology to pharmacogenetics
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common and potentially very impairing neuropsychiatric disorder of childhood. Statistical genetic studies of twins have shown ADHD to be highly heritable, with the combination of genes and gene by environment interactions accounting for around 80% of phenotypic variance. The initial molecular genetic

The role of DAT1 gene on the rapid detection of task novelty
In an environment with a myriad of different stimuli, the fast detection of novel and behaviorally relevant signals becomes crucial for an adaptive behavior. The detection of task-novelty has been related to striatum-prefrontal cortex (PFC) pathways involving dopaminergic (DA) neurotransmission.

Association between 5HTT, DAT1, and DRD4 and bipolar disorder in youth [PDF]
Bipolar disorder (BD) in youth is characterized by rapid fluctuation between high and low mood states, severe irritability, and multiple psychiatric comorbidities. Left untreated, affected youth may demonstrate compromised development in social, neurobiological, cognitive, and emotional realms (Miklowitz & Cicchetti 2006).

Contribution of Dopamine Transporter Gene Methylation Status to Cannabis Dependency
The susceptibility to cannabis dependency results from the influence of numerous factors such as social, genetic, as well as epigenetic factors. Many studies have attempted to discover a molecular basis for this disease.

Response to methylphenidate in adults with ADHD is associated with a polymorphism in SLC6A3 (DAT1) [PDF]
AbstractIn this pharmacogenetic study in adults with ADHD (n = 42), a stratified analysis was performed of the association between response to methylphenidate (MPH), assessed under double‐blind conditions, and polymorphisms in the genes encoding the dopamine transporter, SLC6A3 (DAT1), the norepinephrine transporter, SLC6A2 (NET), and the dopamine ...

G-quadruplex formation at human DAT1 gene promoter: Effect of cytosine methylation
The dopamine transporter gene (DAT1), a recognized genetic risk factor for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is principally responsible for the regulation of dopamine synaptic levels and serves as a key target in many psychostimulants drugs.

Dopamine transporter and transmission of psychopathological risk. A review of gene-environment interplay [PDF]
Research underlines that intergenerational transmission of psychopathological risk results from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental risk factors which predispose child to develop emotionalbehavioral problems. Mechanisms of transmission are

Dopamine transporter (DAT1) and dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) genotypes differentially impact on electrophysiological correlates of error processing. [PDF]
Recent studies as well as theoretical models of error processing assign fundamental importance to the brain's dopaminergic system. Research about how the electrophysiological correlates of error processing--the error-related negativity (ERN) and the ...
