ABSTRACT:
A central role for the gene encoding dopamine beta-hydroxylase in neuropsychiatric disorders is disclosed. Use of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene for diagnosis, prediction of clinical course and treatment response, development of new treatments and development of cell-culture based and animal models for research and treatment are disclosed.
