Abstract excerpt
Recent findings suggest that glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK3β) may play a role in the pathophysiology and treatment of mood disorders. Various genetic studies have shown the association of GSK3β polymorphisms with different mood disorder phenotypes. We hypothesized that genetic variants in the GSK3β gene could partially underlie the susceptibility to mood disorders. We performed a genetic case-control study of...
