Evaluation of VNTR polymorphisms of dopamine transporter gene and the risk of bipolar disorder in Zahedan, southeast Iran
The exact role of dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder type 1 (BD) is not understood. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the possible association between 30, 40 and 63 bp variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphisms of DAT1 gene and the risk of type 1 (BD) in a sample of Iranian population. This case-control study was performed on 152 BD patient...
متن کاملIron deficiency alters dopamine transporter functioning in rat striatum.
Iron deficiency anemia in early life produces profound changes in both in vivo and in vitro evaluations of dopamine (DA) functioning. This study employed both behavioral and biochemical approaches to examine the biological bases of alterations in striatal DA metabolism seen in iron-deficient rats. The purpose was to determine whether the DA transporter (DAT) was functionally altered in postwean...
متن کاملMechanism of action of methylmercury on in vivo striatal dopamine release. Possible involvement of dopamine transporter.
Methylmercury (MeHg) produces significant increases in the spontaneous output of dopamine (DA) from rat striatal tissue. The mechanism through MeHg produces such increase in the extracellular DA levels could be due to increased DA release or decreased DA uptake into DA terminals. One of the aims of this study was to investigate the role of DA transporter (DAT) in the MeHg-induced DA release. Co...
متن کاملDopamine Transporter Efflux in ADHD
Elevated dopamine efflux through the dopamine transporter may underlie some forms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to MazeiRobison et al. The authors identified a mutant form of dopamine transporter in two siblings with ADHD and expressed the mutant and wild-type forms in HEK-293T cells. Although expression levels and dopamine uptake were similar for mutant and wild...
متن کاملFunctional analysis of upstream common polymorphisms of the dopamine transporter gene.
The human dopamine transporter (DAT, SLC6A3) has been extensively investigated because of its potential involvement in neuropsychiatric disorders. The core elements responsible for its transcription have been identified. A regulatory role for certain genomic variants upstream to the core promoter is known. Recently, other single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in this regio...
