Background Calcium voltage-gated channel auxiliary subunit β2 is a protein that, in humans,
is encoded by the CACNB2 gene. The β2 subunit is an auxiliary protein of voltage-gated …

Recently, multiple genome-wide association studies have identified a genetic polymorphism
(CACNA1C rs1006737) that appears to confer susceptibility for BD. This article aims to …

Background Genome-wide association studies have identified the CACNA1C single
nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1006737 as one of the most consistent genetic findings as …

in CACNA1C with structure and function of a frontotemporal system. Bipolar Disord 2011 …

Abstract CACNA1C (12p13. 3) has been implicated as a susceptibility gene for
schizophrenia by several replicated genome wide association studies. While these results …

Genomewide studies have identified allele A (adenine) of single nucleotide polymorphism
(SNP) rs1006737 of the calciumchannel CACNA1C gene as a risk factor for both …

The CACNA1C gene codes for the pore-forming a1C subunit of the L-type voltage-gated
calcium channel and plays an important role in synaptic plasticity, memory formation …

Genetic variation in CACNA1C, which encodes the alpha-1 subunit of CaV1. 2 L-type
voltage-gated calcium channels, is strongly linked to risk for psychiatric disorders including …

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is one of the most common psychiatric disorders with a
relatively high heritability (35–40%). Though rs1006737 in the CACNA1C gene showed …

Background: Bipolar disorder (BPD) is a common and severe mental disorder. The
involvement of genetic factors in the pathophysiology of BPD is well known. In the present …
