OBJECTIVE: To clarify whether A1166C polymorphism of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AT(1)R) gene is associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension in Han, Tibetan and Yi populations in China. METHODS: This study involved 302…

The opioidergic hypothesis suggests an association between genetic variations at the opioid receptor mu 1 (OPRM1) gene locus and opiate addiction. The OPRM1 gene, which encodes for mu opioid receptor, contains several single nucleotide polymorphisms…

We identified a novel 12-bp deletion NT033927.7: g.54953645495375del in the 5'-flanking region of the SERPINH1 gene that increases promoter activity. The 12-bp deletion is in linkage disequilibrium with the minor "T" allele of the -656 C/T SNP that…

BACKGROUND: We wanted to find out if the additional costs of depot neuroleptic in comparison to oral medication was justified by a decrease in admission days. METHODS: An open study on a cohort of chronic psychotic out-patients (n=45) consisting of…

Multiple genetic linkage studies support the hypothesis that the 15q13-14 chromosomal region contributes to the etiology of schizophrenia. Among the putative candidate genes in this area are the alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene (CHRNA7)…

OBJECTIVE: Depression and suicide-related behaviours are important issues for workers, and the number of Japanese companies contracting with the Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) to promote employees' mental health has recently increased. However,…
