“…The 10R/10R homozygosity has been linked to a higher level of novelty seeking, a trait that indicates greater reactivity to novel external stimulation (Sabol et al, 1999). The 10R allele has also been consistently implicated in increased susceptibility to attention deficit disorder (ADD) (Cook et al, 1995; Gill, Daly, Heron, Hawi, & Fitzgerald, 1997; Gizer, Ficks, & Waldman, 2009; Kebir, Tabbane, Sengupta, & Joober, 2009; Newman et al, 2014). Although it remains unclear whether this association is mediated by the dopamine or dopamine transporter levels (Yang et al, 2007), it suggests that homozygous 10R allele carriers are more likely than others to exhibit poor attentional processing, e.g.…”
