Chunk #26 — COMT genotype and N-Back performance

Source
The endophenotype concept in psychiatric genetics.
Embedded
yes

Text

We carried out a meta-analysis of published studies reporting data on the association between COMT genotype and N-Back performance. Recall that a potential criticism of our analysis of WCST data is that the latter represent a complex behavioural phenotype which only partially recruits prefrontal function. Analysis of the association between COMT genotype and N-Back performance allows us to investigate an endophenotype that is less subject to this criticism.
