We investigated three polymorphisms in the NMDA receptor 2B subunit gene (GRIN2B),
involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission, as a candidate gene for bipolar disorder. In the …

Six kindreds containing multiple cases of Manic-depressive illness (MDI) were genotyped
with seven highly polymorphic microsatellite loci used in the construction of an index map for …

Bipolar, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorders are common, highly heritable
psychiatric disorders, for which familial coaggregation, as well as epidemiological and …

Genetic factors play an important role in the aetiology of bipolar affective disorder (BP). So
far, results of linkage studies have been largely disappointing. We have searched for a …

It is well established that G-proteins represent essential regulatory components in
transmembrane signaling. The α subunit of the olfactory G-protein G olf (GNAL) maps to a …

The benzodiazepine receptor (peripheral)(BZRP) plays an important role in the steroid
syntheses of the adrenal glands and brain, which is possibly involved in the …

Bipolar disorder has long been known to have a substantial genetic contribution. Compared
with a 1% incidence rate in the general population, the incidence rate for first-degree …

There is growing evidence of partial aetiological overlap between schizophrenia and bipolar
disorder (BP) from linkage analysis, genetic epidemiology and molecular genetics studies …

This abstract concerns a brief association study between RGS4 and bipolar disorder, by an
association study of five single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs951436, rs951439, rs2842030 …
