COMT Val158Met polymorphism modulates cognitive effects of dietary intervention

A common single nucleotide polymorphism in the gene encoding catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), Val158Met, is thought to influence cognitive performance due to differences in prefrontal dopaminergic neurotransmission. Previous studies lend support for the hypothesis that the at-risk genotype compr...
