DRD4 dopamine receptor alleles in Chilean students of different ethnic origin and its relation with the risk for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder

[Background] Worldwide diversity of alleles of D4 receptor gene (DRD4), linked to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is mostly the result of length and single nucleotide polymorphisms in a 48-bp tandem repeat (VNTR). Alleles containing from two (2R) to eleven (11R) repeats have been identified. The most common are 4R, 7R and 2R.
