We previously reported an association between dopamine receptor D4 (DRD4) gene exon 1 variants and delusional disorder. The aim of this investigation was to study the DRD4 gene exon 1 and 3 variants in schizophrenia, delusional, bipolar, and unipolar disorders. We studied 651 inpatients affected by

The serotonin receptor type 2A (5-HT2A) is a primary candidate for involvement in major psychoses. Polymorphisms within the 5-HT2A gene have recently been reported to be associated with a variety of psychopathological conditions. In the present study, we investigated the potential influence of the T
Dopamine D3 receptor gene (DRD3) variants have been implicated in the pathogenesis of psychiatric disorders. Many studies, however, have failed to replicate the association of DRD3 with schizophrenia. A possible reason for this may lie in the definition of phenotype, which is traditionally based on
Kallmann syndrome and schizophrenia share several clinical features, including dysfunctional olfactory ability, hypogonadotrophic hypogonadism, an excess of affected males, and psychiatric presentation. Because of this congruence, it has been proposed that up to 70% of male schizophrenics might have
Waardenburg syndrome (WS) comprises sensorineural hearing loss, hypopigmentation of skin and hair, and pigmentary disturbances of the irides. Four types of WS have been classified to date; in WS type IV (WS4), patients additionally have colonic aganglionosis (Hirschsprung disease, HSCR). Mutations i
Recent genetic analyses have suggested a linkage between schizophrenia and the chromosomal region 22q12-q13. 14-3-3 protein, abundant in the brain, mediates interactions between diverse molecules of biological activities; its gene was recently mapped to chromosome 22q12.1-q13.1. We therefore investi
