[Abstract] Objective: To assess the effect of-616 C/G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the dopamine D4 receptor (DRD4) promoter rs747302 on white matter microstructure in normal adolescents using neurite orientation dispersionand density imaging (NODDI) methodology.Materials and Methods: Genomic and NODDI imaging data were obtained from 179 healthy adolescents. SNP of rs747302 was genotyped. NODDI imaging data were collected uning a 3.0 tesla MR scanner, neurite density index (NDI) and orientation dispersion index (ODI) were calculated and compared between different genotype (C/G) using TBSS software.Results: Differences of NDI and ODI between genotype were found in anterior thalamic radiation (ATR), C allele carriers of rs747302 exhibited lower NDI and high ODI in ATR.Conclusions: Among male adolescents, C-allele carriers of rs747302 were associated lower NDI and high ODI in ATR.
