C957T

The C957T

Dopamine D2 receptor expression is increased among individuals who carry the 957T allele compared to individuals who carry the 957C allele (in contrast to the original article publication, which has since been corrected).[1] [2]


Behaviours associated with the C/C genotype of the C957T polymorphism

Given that the C/C genotype has been associated with dissocial personality disorder one may infer that this genotype may also be associated with all four

cluster B personality disorders
. This hypothesis, however, has not been tested.

Rapid screening of the C957T and the TaqIA polymorphisms

Given the importance of the C957T and TaqIA polymorphisms for the diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorder, a rapid screening protocol for these genes has been developed.[14] Since the DRD2 1101A allele nulls the effects of the 957T allele,[15] screens for the 957C allele which ignore the 1101A allele can sometimes lead to false negatives.
