Abstract excerpt
As alterations in GABAergic neurotransmission have been indirectly implicated in the pathogenetics of schizophrenia, GABAA receptor subunit genes are plausible candidate genes for the illness. We undertook a search for sequence variations in the coding region of beta 1 subunit gene by designing intron-based primers to amplify its 9 exons. Using single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis, we found an...
