Biologically Significant Variants Click here for help
Type:  Repeat polymorphism of Exon III
Species:  Human
Description:  DRD4 7-repeat allele may increase likelihood of ADHD.
References:  15,66
General Comments
Human and primate receptors have a variable number (2-10) of imperfect 48 bp repeats in exon 3 [31,75]. This leads to a highly variable length and amino acid composition of the putative third cytoplasmic loop, apparently not associated with any marked variation in pharmacology. In humans the D4.2, D4.4 and D4.7 variants are the predominant variants [55].

Most D4 receptor-antagonists display agonistic activities in some heterologous expression systems [18-19].
