Abstract
The cloning and characterization of a human dopamine transporter (HUDAT) cDNA is described. RFLP analysis is used to determine the distribution of HUDAT alleles in two ethic backgrounds. The means by which the association between HUDAT alleles and behavioral disorders which have altered HUDAT expression as a basis for their etiology is discussed. Methods for evaluating the expression of HUDAT are described.
