On the basis of the glutamatergic dysfunction hypothesis of schizophrenia, we have been conducting a systematic study of the association of glutamate receptor genes with schizophrenia. Here we report association studies of schizophrenia with polymorphisms in three kainate receptor genes: GRIK3, GRIK4 and GRIK5. We selected 16, 24 and 5 common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) distributed in the entire gene...
