Polymorphic variants of the dopamine receptor gene <i>DRD2</i> (rs6277, rs1800497) in adolescents with problematic video game use by S. Yu. Tereshchenko, K. V. Afonicheva, I. V. Marchenko, M. V. Shubina, M. V. Smolnikova

“…The T allele DRD2 (rs6277) is associated with low expression of the dopamine receptor D2 and leads to decreasing the density and affinity of extrastriatal dopamine type 2 receptors, which is associated with impaired social communication as well. We suggest that the presence of CT and TT genotypes of rs6277 DRD2 may be a potential risk factor for developing problematic video game use in adolescents.…”
