Glutamate dysfunction has been hypothesized to be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. The human homolog of Drosophila discs large protein (hDLG) and post-synaptic density-95-associated protein-1 (DAP-1) is one of the major proteins that are involved in intracellular signal transduction via N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. In the present study 33 Japanese patients with schizophrenia were screened for...
