DRD4 is a gene which codes for a type dopamine receptor known as the D4 receptor.


A specific allele of this gene (known as the 'DRD4 long' variant) has been linked to a susceptibility for developing psychosis.

Although the existing literature on DRD4 VNTR effects is relatively small, DRD4-L status was predicted to both positively moderate the effects of the craving induction, replicating two previous studies [37,40], and the continuous relationship between craving and the relative value of alcohol.
Principal analyses used hierarchical multiple regression to examine the influence of covariates, induction type, genotype, and induction-by-genotype interaction; the latter term was examined for evidence of a moderating genetic influence [68].
DRD4 VNTR was the single target of the current study based on the existing literature [37,38,40] and the small sample size, however, other recent studies have suggested provocative interactions with other alleles.
