.../158Met Schizophrenia Catechol- o -methyltransferase Event-related potential Gene Schizophrenia is a chronic and severe mental disorder. A family study of schizophrenia suggested that genetic factors are greatly involved in its etiology [ 1 ]. However, it is not a single-gene disorder; both...

... of this study was to analyze the possible association of polymorphic variants of the DRD2 and ANKK1 genes with suicide attempt in a Mexican population. Methods: We conducted a case-control study in 289 subjects (166 suicide attempters and 123 healthy controls). We genotyped 2 polymorphisms of DRD2 (rs6275...

.... Genetic factors are known to contribute to the visual word recognition, but no genes associated with this process have been identified so far. We studied the impact of the DRD2 C957T polymorphism on the efficiency of visual word recognition by measuring its neuronal correlates and behavioral parameters...

.... Metalloproteinases Bipolar disorder Gene Single-nucleotide polymorphism National Institutes of Health (NIH) 10.13039/100000002 Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are key enzymes to the extracellular matrix (ECM) that remodel the pericellular environment. Their activity is pivotal...

... of Chinese college students (n = 478) was given a facial expression recognition task. Subjects were genotyped for 98 loci [96 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 2 variable number tandem repeats] in 16 genes involved in the dopamine neurotransmitter system, including its 4 subsystems: synthesis (TH...

... are not fully clarified: it is hypothesized that lithium may drive acute molecular events whose activation over time triggers long-lasting modifications in critical neuronal nets. These events are associated with long-lasting changes in the expression profile of genes in neurons that are embedded...
