Abstract excerpt
The cholecystokinin type A receptor (CCKAR) gene has been found to be associated with positive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia but the results reported to date are inconsistent. Considering the involvement of allelic heterogeneity in poor replication of the CCKAR finding, we genotyped five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the 5' putative regulatory region of the CCKAR gene in a Chinese...
