TL;DR
It is suggested that genetic variation at the SLC6A3 3' VNTR polymorphism may modify dopamine transporter function.

Analysis of a 40-bp repeat in the 3' untranslated region of the message revealed variable numbers of the repeat ranging from 3 to 11 copies, which will aid in the investigation of a role for this gene in genetic disorders of the dopaminergic system in humans.

It is suggested that the VNTR polymorphism of the DAT gene effects translation of theDAT protein, which may explain a variety of clinical associations that have been reported with this polymorphism.

A 3′ variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism at the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) in a sample of 49 ADHD patients and their parents is examined using the haplotype relative risk (HRR) method, finding that the 480-bp allele was preferentially transmitted to ADHD probands.

Preliminary findings suggest an association between 5-HTT allelic constitution and in vivo measurements of human serotonin transporter availability, and a potentially selective susceptibility of ll-homozygous individuals to the neurotoxic effects of chronic excessive alcohol consumption.

The results replicate and extend previous findings of the association between the DAT1 gene and childhood ADHD and represent one of the first replicated relations of a candidate gene and a psychiatric disorder in children.

The population differences demonstrate a potential for population stratification in association studies of either of these SLC6A4 polymorphisms, and could reflect either different behavioral adaptations in different populations, or random genetic drift of a behaviorally important but selectively neutral polymorphism.

Serotonin transporter binding sites were regulated in a region-specific and substance-specific pattern, which was not simply a local response to functional blockade, and it is possible that serotonin transporter promoter genotype may play a complex role in chronic ethanol dependence.

Pre preferential transmission of alleles at polymorphisms at the dopamine transporter (DAT1) and dopamine-β-hydroxylase (DBH) is found, and TDT analysis of complete trios supports the HHRR analysis.

Simulations indicated that the error associated with the day 2 equilibrium analysis was acceptable for plasma tracer terminal half-lives >10 h, and the equilibrium analysis on day 2 is proposed as the method of choice for clinical studies since it does not require multiple scans or the measurement of the arterial Plasma tracer concentrations.

DAT genotype was associated with cocaine-induced paranoia within the white sample, and certain DAT genotypes may therefore predispose to paranoia in the context of cocaine use in white populations.
