In addition to the large literatures on associations of the DRD4 VNTR polymorphism with ADHD and personality traits, there is an emerging literature linking this variant to addiction and addiction-related phenotypes. When only diagnosis-based studies are considered, an inconsistent picture emerges raising doubts as to the relevance of this polymorphism to addiction. However the use of multiple levels of analysis in examining the importance of this polymorphism has raised the possibility of an urge-related “intermediate phenotype” that puts one at risk for developing addiction but may not be found in all persons with an addiction diagnosis. From cellular assays through neuroimaging and behavioral phenotypes, these studies highlight the power of the “intermediate phenotype” approach and suggest a possible explanation of the mixed findings when diagnosis is used as the phenotype. Strengths and weaknesses of alternative DRD4 VNTR genotype grouping strategies are discussed. In sum, converging evidence across multiple methodologies supports the possibility of a robust relationship between the DRD4 exon 3 VNTR polymorphism and urge for addictive substances.
