Association Tests of Striatal DAT Availability and SNPs That Impact a Novel Splice Variant in the DAT Gene

TO THE EDITOR: The level of striatal dopamine transporter (DAT) availability in the human brain has been associated with polymorphisms in the gene encoding for DAT ( SLC6A3 ) ([1][1]). We have shown that a specific allele combination for polymorphisms in the 5′ and 3′ ends of the gene affects
