## Abstract Several lines of evidence indicate that glycogen synthase kinaseβ3Ξ² (GSK3Ξ²) is one of the candidates for schizophreniaβsusceptibility factor. However, it has not been reported the association analysis between GSK3Ξ² gene (__GSK3B__) and Japanese schizophrenia based on linkage disequilibr

Using a case-control design, a reported association of schizophrenia with homozygosity at the dopamine D3 receptor gene locus was investigated in a group of patients (n = 53), with schizophrenia (DSM-III-R), and psychiatrically normal controls (n = 61), matched for ethnicity and area of residence. N
reported the existence of an association between schizophrenia and homozygosity of a BUZZ polymorphism in the first exon of the dopamine D3 receptor (DRDS) gene. In response to this report, further studies were conducted; however, these studies yielded conflicting results. In the present study, we e
The specificity of cytoarchitectural abnormalities in limbic structures of patients with schizophrenia and their contributions towards the etiology of schizophrenia remain unknown. We have recently reported an increased breakdown of nonerythroid β£-spectrin (fodrin), a major component of neuronal cyt
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
