Abstract

Aim: To explore the relation between the polymorphism of dopamine receptor D2(DRD2) Taq I and the genetic susceptibility of acute stress disorder (ASD). Methods: PCR-RFLP was used to determine the DRD2 Taq I A polymorphism of 23 patients with ASD. Another 41 survivors, who had experienced serious traffic or other accidents, were involved in the control group. Results: There were significant differences in A1 allele frequencies (fA1) between the ASD group (43.5%) and the control group (24.4%) (χ2 = 4.998, P < 0.05). There were also significant differences in allele carrying rate between the ASD group (73.9%) and the control group (43.9%) (χ2 = 5.355, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Polymorphism of DRD2 Taq I is related to the ASD, and A1 alleles carrier may be susceptibile to ASD.
