Results are consistent with novelty-seeking behavior being a complex trait associated with many genes, and the variance attributable to DRD4 by itself being very small. The meta-analysis of 11 studies did find that another polymorphism in the gene, the -521C/T, showed an association with novelty seeking. [21]
In another study relating to the gene and financial risk, Dr. Dreber and colleagues found a correlation between increased risk-taking and the DRD4 gene in young males. [9] Although studies support the link between novelty seeking and dopaminergic activity via DRD4, other studies do not exhibit a strong correlation.
The SNP has been investigated with respect to novelty seeking, — a personality trait that may be measured with the Temperament and Character Inventory. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A 2008 meta-analysis indicates a possible association between novelty seeking and C-521T though rather small.
According to some publications, SNPs in DRD4 are associated with extraversion and novelty seeking. [6] Also variations in 5HTT are associated with neuroticism and harm avoidance. [7] Family and twins studies: The studies of genomics of personality traits involves families and specifically twins, because they have a high heritability of the traits.
Dopamine transporter DAT1 and dopamine receptor DRD4 are associated with novelty seeking. [citation needed] Parkinson's patients, who are intrinsically low in dopamine, are found to have low novelty seeking scores. [citation needed] Gene variants that have been investigated are, e.g., 5-HTTLPR in the serotonin transporter gene and gene variants ...
Novelty seeking was strongly related to Impulsive sensation seeking and to a lesser extent to sociability. Harm avoidance was positively correlated with N-Anx and negatively with sociability. Zuckerman and Cloninger contended that Harm Avoidance is a composite dimension comprising neurotic introversion at one end and stable extraversion at the ...
Cloninger suggested that the three dimensions, novelty seeking, harm avoidance, and reward dependence, were correlated with low basal dopaminergic activity, high serotonergic activity, and low basal noradrenergic activity, respectively. [5] Much research has gone into examining these links, e.g., with personality genetics.
