Serotonergic (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT) transmission may play an important role in the treatment and/or pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Previous studies reported that several atypical antipsychotic agents have high affinities for the 5-HT 6 receptor. The 5-HT 6 receptor gene polymorphism might contr

The dopamine D4 receptor is of major interest in schizophrenia research due to its high affinity for the atypical neuroleptic clozapine and a high degree of variability in the receptor gene (DRD4). Although several genetic linkage analyses performed on schizophrenia multiplex families from different
We studied a CA repeat polymorphism of the interleukin-2 receptor  chain (IL-2RB) gene and a C/-514/T variation of the interleukin-1  (IL-1B) gene in Japanese schizophrenia patients. Both a case-control association study (54 patients and 54 controls) and a linkage study using six multiplex familie
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
