Abstract excerpt
Steroid hormone administration causes behavior changes in many and psychosis in a few. The clinical features suggest that genetic variants of the glucocorticoid receptor or cofactors could produce susceptible subpopulations who react adversely to hormonal cascades. To investigate this possibility, coding and splice site sequences of the glucocorticoid receptor were scanned for single nucleotide polymorphisms in...
