Human personality traits are partially determined by genes. It has been suggested that the reward-dependence dimension assessed by the Tridimensional Personality Questionnaire (TPQ) is related to the central noradrenergic system. Our population-based association study tested the hypothesis that genetic variants of the adrenoceptor are associated with this personality trait. The alpha1a- and the alpha2a-adrenoceptor genotypes were determined for 198 healthy Han Chinese who had completed the TPQ. We found no significant differences for TPQ personality-factor scores, including reward dependence and its subscales, for subjects showing different adrenoceptor genotypes. Our negative findings suggest that polymorphisms of the alpha1a adrenoceptor and of the promoter region of the alpha2a-adrenoceptor have no major effect on the reward-dependence personality trait as assessed by TPQ.
