High impact information on NAPG

The gene encoding gamma-SNAP (NAPG), one of three soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion (NSF)-attachment proteins (SNAPs), is located in the 18p11 region and is thought to play a role in cellular processes required for neurotransmission in the central nervous system [1].
METHODS: To test this hypothesis, we used a case-control design in which the genotype and allele frequencies for five single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the human NAPG gene were compared between individuals with a diagnosis of type I bipolar disorder (n=460) and control individuals (n=191) [1].
