Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We have previously reported a single nucleotide polymorphism (P-5, G-384A) in the proximal promoter of the gene for G protein receptor kinase 3 (GRK3) that was associated with bipolar disorder in two independent samples. In this study, we examined whether the G-384A variant has a functional effect on GRK3 transcription. METHODS: Electrophoretic mobility shift assays were conducted using nuclear...
