Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors play important roles in many neurophysiological processes. Evidence from previous studies indicate that NMDA receptors contribute to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Two NMDA receptor subunit genes, GRIN1 and GRIN2A, are both good candidate genes for schizophrenia. METHOD: We genotyped five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in GRIN1 and two in GRIN2A in...
