Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Glutamatergic function is one of the major hypotheses for schizophrenia. Within the glutamate system, the glutamate receptor ionotropic kainate-1 (GRIK1) gene is thought to be particularly involved in schizophrenia because of the reported reduction of GRIK1 in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of patients. OBJECTIVE: We examined single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the GRIK1 gene for possible...
