Abstract
In this preliminary study, 16 psychotropic-naïve pediatric patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were studied using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and genotyped for six candidate polymorphisms in two glutamate system genes. A significant association was identified between the rs1019385 polymorphism of the glutamate receptor, ionotropic, N-methyl-d-aspartate 2B (GRIN2B) and decreased anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) glutamatergic concentration (Glx) but not with occipital Glx. These results suggest that GRIN2B may be associated with Glx in the ACC, a region consistently implicated in OCD.Entities:
