We examined the association of 39 single nucleotide polymorphisms in eight genes (GRIN2A, GRIN2B, SLC1A2, SLC1A3, SLC17A7, GRM3, GRM7, and GRM8) involved in the glutamatergic system with the development of clinical heterogeneity of schizophrenia. This evidence concerns the gene SLC1A3 and schizophrenia.
