## Abstract The tetrapeptide of cholecystokinin (CCK), CCKβ4, is known to induce panic attacks in human subjects, while CCKβ8 is reported to have a therapeutic effect on schizophrenia symptoms. Recently, we have identified a novel microsatellite polymorphism in the 5β² upstream region of the CCK gen

A variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism consisting of multiple copies of a 17-bp repeat in the second intron of the serotonin transporter gene (SERT) has been reported. Different alleles of this VNTR have been found to be associated with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. These findings
