1 Polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter gene are associated with visual hallucinations and levodopa equivalent dose in Brazilians with Parkinson"s disease. Levodopa solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
2 Polymorphisms in the DAT1 gene might affect the reuptake of dopamine in the synaptic cleft, but the influence of this variability on adverse effects or levodopa equivalent dose on PD patients is still poorly investigated. Levodopa solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
3 Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate DAT1 gene polymorphisms on levodopa equivalent dose and visual hallucination occurrence in PD patients. Levodopa solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
4 Our results support an effect of DAT1 polymorphisms in adverse effects of anti-Parkinsonian drugs and in levodopa equivalent dose usage. Levodopa solute carrier family 6 member 3 Homo sapiens
