The dopamine receptor D4 gene (DRD4) 7-repeat allele has been found to interact with environmental factors such as parenting in children and peer attitudes in adults to influence aspects of behavior such as risk taking. We previously found that in toddlers, lower-quality parenting in combination with the 7-repeat allele of the DRD4 gene was associated with greater parent-reported TI - The Dopamine Receptor D4 Gene 7-Repeat Allele Interacts with Parenting Quality to Predict Effortful Control in Four-Year-Old Children JF - Child Development Research DO - 10.1155/2012/863242 DA - 2012-06-27 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/the-dopamine-receptor-d4-gene-7-repeat-allele-interacts-with-parenting-66mfriDx7V DP - DeepDyve ER -
