Study results from A. Minelli and colleagues update understanding of life sciences
March 31st, 2009
Scientists discuss in 'An association of GRIK3 Ser310Ala functional polymorphism with personality traits' new findings in life sciences. According to recent research from Brescia, Italy, "Personality traits are under genetic control, and have been associated with genes implicated in dopaminergic, serotoninergic and noradrenergic neurotransmission systems, often with conflicting results. There have been few studies assessing the involvement of the glutamatergic pathway instead upon personality traits." "In the gene family of glutamate receptors, there is a T/G polymorphism at codon 928 in the ionotropic glutamate receptor kainite 3 gene (GRIK3) that causes a serine to...
