Gabra5-gene haplotype block associated with behavioral properties of the full agonist benzodiazepine chlordiazepoxide
2012, Behavioural Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :This region is organized in cluster with three of the GABAA receptor subunit genes (GABRB3, GABRA5 and GABRG3) [24,25]. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) present in these genes have been associated in epilepsy susceptibility, drug resistance [37,42], susceptibility to autistic [49] or with bipolar schizoaffective disorders [26] Specifically, GABRA5 was associated with bipolar I disorder [14,49,56]. In the mouse model, four lines of GABAA-receptor point mutated knock-in have attributed different diazepam pharmacological properties to different GABAA-receptor isoforms.

2010, Bioorganic and Medicinal ChemistryCitation Excerpt :It is now clear that these receptors regulate the excitability of the brain, anxiety, muscle tone, circadian rhythms, sleep, vigilance, memory, and learning.44 There are several disease states thought to be associated with the improper functioning of this system, including anxiety, epilepsy,45 insomnia,46 depression and bipolar disorder,47,48 schizophrenia,49 as well as mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease.50 A role of GABAA receptors in drug and alcohol abuse has also been reported.51–53
