Abstract excerpt
Hyperactivation of N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) leads to neuronal excitotoxicity and is suggested to play a role in many brain disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia. However, the association between polymorphisms in the genes that code for NMDAR subunits, N-methyl-d-aspartate 1 and 2B (GRIN1 and GRIN2B) and Parkinson's disease (PD) remains unclear. In a hospital-based case-control...
