## Abstract Based on the glutamatergic dysfunction hypothesis for schizophrenia pathogenesis, we have been performing systematic association studies of schizophrenia with the glutamate receptor and transporter genes. We report here association studies of schizophrenia with three glutamate transport
Possible involvement of receptors in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia has been suggested. In this study we searched systematically for polymorphisms in the 5-franking region of the 1 receptor. Genetic variation in this region could reduce the expression of the gene, and this suggestion is compatibl
