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 serotonergic system is implicated in the etiology of mood disorders. Among those most recently discovered serotonin receptors, the relative abundance of serotonin type 6 receptor (5-HT 6 ) in the limbic area and the high affinity of some antidepressants to 5-HT 6 receptors suggest that this rece
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
