Association of rs11081062 polymorphism of gene and levels of SLC1A1 protein with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Glutamate is an important neurotransmitter known to be effective in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the gene encoding the scaffold protein of ionotropic glutamate receptors and the gene encoding the glutamate transporter protein with OCD. Study groups consisted of 95 patients with OCD and 100 healthy controls.
