Antisociality, substance dependence, and the DRD5 gene: a preliminary studyM M Vanyukov
Center for Education and Drug Abuse Research CEDAR, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15261, USA
Am J Med Genet 96:654-8. 2000..The data suggest involvement of the DRD5 locus in the variation and sexual dimorphism of SD liability and antisociality and in the developmental continuity of antisociality...
An association between a microsatellite polymorphism at the DRD5 gene and the liability to substance abuse: pilot studyM M Vanyukov
Center for Education and Drug Abuse Research CEDAR, University of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213, USA
Behav Genet 28:75-82. 1998..The data suggest that the DRD5 locus is involved in the variation and sex dimorphism of substance abuse liability...
Mating assortment and the liability to substance abuseM M Vanyukov
Center for Education and Drug Abuse Research CEDAR, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, PA 15213, USA
Drug Alcohol Depend 42:1-10. 1996..This paper reviews the theoretical and empirical literature on mechanisms related to mate resemblance for the liability to substance abuse, sources and consequences of such resemblance, and suggests directions for further research...

Am J Addict 10:269-78. 2001..The results suggest that SD+/ASP+ children are at significant risk for internalizing and externalizing psychopathology...
A dinucleotide repeat polymorphism at the gene for monoamine oxidase A and measures of aggressivenessM M Vanyukov
Pittsburgh Adolescent Alcohol Research Center PAARC, PA 15213 2593, USA
Psychiatry Res 59:35-41. 1995..Alternative explanations of this trend are discussed. The data obtained suggest that the polymorphism studied is not associated with the variation in aggressiveness...

Social dominance mediates the association of testosterone and neurobehavioral disinhibition with risk for substance use disorderRalph E Tarter
Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
Psychol Addict Behav 21:462-8. 2007..In addition, SD/NVB mediated the association between ND and SUD. These findings suggest that development of SUD is influenced by androgen-dependent and neurobehavioral processes via a social motivational style characterized by SD/NVB...
Dopamine system genes and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder: a meta-analysisBrion S Maher
Division of Oral Biology, School of Dental Medicine, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15261, USA
Psychiatr Genet 12:207-15. 2002..Overall, the meta-analyses support the involvement of the dopamine system genes in ADHD liability variation and suggest the need for studies examining interactions between these genes...
