Objective: To investigate the association between a Ser9Gly polymorphism of the dopamine D3 receptor gene (DRD3) and schizophrenia.
Methods: 408 schizophrenic patients and 172 control subjects were compared with regard to their DRD3 Ser9Gly genotypic and allelic frequencies. In addition, we carried out a family-based association study including 183 pedigrees (472 subjects) using the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT).
Results: No significant differences of genotype or homozygosity distribution were identified between patients and controls. When patients were stratified according to gender, response to treatment, age at onset, no significant differences were observed. Neither allele A (Ser), or G (Gly) were preferentially transmitted from parents to affected offspring.
Conclusion: The hypothesis that the DRD3 Ser9Gly polymorphism plays a predisposing role in schizophrenia is not supported by this study.

Association of dopamine receptor D3 polymorphism with Levodopa-induced Dyskinesia: A study on Parkinson's disease patients from India.

Department of Neurology, Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata, Kolkata, India. Electronic address:
Introduction: Levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) is a debilitating motor feature in a subset of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) after prolonged therapeutic administration of levodopa. Preliminary animal and human studies are suggestive of a key role of dopamine type 3 (D3) receptor polymorphism (Ser9Gly; rs6280) in LID. Its contribution to development of LID among Indian PD patients has remained relatively unexplored and merits further investigation.

Background: A possible genetic contribution of dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) to cognitive impairment in Parkinson's disease (PD) has yet to be investigated.
Objective: To explore the effects of rs6280 (Ser9Gly) genotype on PD patients' cognitive performance and to clarify possible interactions with psychopathology.
Methods: Two hundred and fifty-three consecutive PD patients underwent neurological and neuropsychological evaluations, which included: Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), Hoehn & Yahr scale (H&Y), Dementia Rating Scale-2 (DRS-2), and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Impulsive-compulsive behaviour in early Parkinson's disease is determined by apathy and dopamine receptor D3 polymorphism.

Impulsive-compulsive behaviour (ICB) is a frequently observed non-motor symptom in early Parkinson's disease after initiating dopamine replacement therapy. At the opposite end of the motivated behaviour spectrum, apathy occurs in early Parkinson's disease even before dopamine replacement is started. The co-occurrence of these behavioural conditions in Parkinson's disease raises questions about their relationship and underlying pathophysiological determinants.

The D3 dopamine receptor (DRD3) plays a major role in cognitive function and is a candidate gene for schizophrenia. DRD3 is widely distributed in the hippocampus, but whether there are potential associations between the rs6280 genotype, the hippocampus, and cognitive function in first-episode, drug-naïve (FES) patients and healthy controls (HCs) is still poorly understood. First, using functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging data, we calculated the gray matter volume (GMV) and functional connectivity (FC) of the hippocampus.

The association between dopamine D3 receptor (DRD3) Ser9Gly polymorphism and treatment response to antipsychotic drugs (APDs) in schizophrenia (SCZ) has been widely reported with inconsistent results, thus we performed an updated meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, CNKI, Weipu and Wanfang databases were searched for eligible studies published until March 2022. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the associations in four genetic models.
