## Abstract The tetrapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK), CCKโ4, is known to induce panic attacks in human subjects, while CCKโ8 is reported to have a therapeutic effect on schizophrenia symptoms. Recently, we have identified a novel microsatellite polymorphism in the 5โฒ upstream region of the CCK gen
Genetic variations in the 5-untranslated region and the coding region of the CCK-B receptor (CCK-BR) gene were investigated in healthy controls. Novel variants (-215 CโA, Leu37Phe, Arg319Glu) were found in addition to the mutations (Val125Iso, His207His, Arg215His, 2491 CโA) reported previously. In
The retinoblastoma gene (RB) encodes a tumor suppressor that is inactivated in a number of different types of cancer. We searched for gross alterations of this gene in tumors of the central nervous system by using Southern blot hybridization. A common alteration was found in several tumors and was m
