Funded Activity Summary

We will investigate variation in the dopamine transporter gene. Variation in this gene will be characterised to a deeper level than has been previously possible using the latest sequencing technology, its biological function will be investigated using biochemical and neuroimaging methods directly in human subjects, and its effects on a clinically important cognitive measure and a common psychiatric condition (attention deficit/hyperactive disorder) will we determined.
