Introduction: Treatment with dopamine agonists in patients with PRL adenomas has been associated with weight loss in short-term studies. However, long-term studies on weight changes are lacking. Taq1A is a restriction fragment length polymorphism considered as a gene marker for the D2DR gene. The presence of at least one A1 allele is linked to reduced brain dopaminergic activity due to reduced receptor binding and lower density of the dopamine two receptor.<p clas...
