Abstract

To investigate whether the dopaminergic system plays a role in the etiology of anorexia nervosa (AN) via the dopamine D2 receptor, we investigated association and transmission disequilibrium at seven single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) spanning about 75 kbp of the gene DRD2. We studied 191 probands with a DSM-IV diagnosis of AN, 457 parents and affected relatives with a DSM-IV eating disorder diagnosis, and 98 unrelated, female, normal weight controls. The -141 C/- insertion/deletion (-141 Indel), previously shown to affect DRD2 transcription efficiency, and multiple exon seven polymorphisms, one of which has previously been shown to affect DRD2 transcript stability, exhibited statistically significant association with diagnosis in haplotype transmission disequilibrium and in haplotype case : control analyses. Significant linkage disequilibrium between the -141 Indel and two exon seven SNPs (939Y and 957Y) was observed over a distance of >50 kbp in the AN probands but not in the controls. Genetically transmitted variation in D2 dopamine receptor expression mediated by functional polymorphisms affecting transcription and translation efficiency may play a role in vulnerability to AN.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
