This study is focused on the dopamine D2 receptor and the linkage between TaqIA and - 141C Ins/Del polymorphisms in DRD2 gene and novelty seeking behaviour, as well as the linkage between Val158Met polymorphism in COMT gene and novelty seeking behaviour. Novelty seeking behaviour is characterized as a personality trait with a tendency to look for novel stimulation and extravagances at any cost of legal, physical and social risk to reward cues. DRD2 and COMT genes are associated with the function of dopamine, which is essential for motoric function and reward-motivated behaviour. Therefore, the aim of this study is to ascertain the potential linkage among the three studied polymorphisms and novelty seeking behaviour.
