Abstract
Several investigations have suggested that abnormalities in glutamate neural transmission play a role in the pathophysiology of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. The metabotropic glutamate 3 receptor (mGluR3) gene was reported to be associated with schizophrenia, and paranoid type schizophrenia has symptoms that are similar to those of methamphetamine-induced psychosis. This suggests that mGluR3 gene (GRM3) is a good candidate gene for the pathogenesis of methamphetamine-induced psychosis. To evaluate the association between GRM3 and methamphetamine-induced psychosis, we conducted a case-control study of Japanese samples (181 methamphetamine-induced psychosis and 232 controls).
