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

The cholecystokinin A receptor (CCK-AR) modulates CCK-stimulated dopamine release in the posterior nucleus accumbens, and its gene is mapped to 4p15.2-15.1 with the dopamine receptor 5 (DR5) gene. We speculated that alterations in the CCK-AR lead to an increase in dopamine release, which may in turn
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 CβA, Leu37Phe, Arg319Glu) were found in addition to the mutations (Val125Iso, His207His, Arg215His, 2491 CβA) reported previously. In
The presence of a polymorphic (GT) n repeat, a microsatellite repeat, at the human dopamine β€-hydroxylase (DBH) gene had been previously investigated in healthy people and in schizophrenic patients. The different DBH genotypes had been found to be associated to different DBH biochemical function, bu
