Juvenile absence epilepsy (JAE) is a common subtype of idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE). Hereditary factors play a major role in its etiology. The important function of glutamate receptors (GluRs) in excitatory neurotransmission, synaptic plasticity, and neurodevelopment suggests their involvem
## Abstract The etiology of mood disorders remains elusive, despite our increasing understanding of the neurotransmitter systems and brain regions that are involved. We performed a large familyβbased association study to test if the human kainate receptor __GluR7__ gene (__GRIK3__) is associated wi
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
