This study examined whether carrying dopamine-related "risk" genes-either the dopamine transporter (DAT1) 10-repeat allele or dopamine receptor-4 (DRD4) 7-repeat allele-moderated the association of family environment and executive function (EF) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) in early childhood.
