DRD2 receptor

A few weeks ago, I wrote about a paper in Science(1) that I read on a connection between a mutation in the dopamine D2 receptor and the genetics of learning. Only, it turned out that when I looked at the gene map... the mutation mapped in a completely different gene. I presented the data here and wrote a bit about my surprise at finding this mistake and even greater surprise at seeing this same mistake perpetuated by others. Now, I have some updates to the story. The folks at the NCBI responded quickly and added annotations to both the DRD2 and the ANKK1 citations in the Gene database. Now…
