Rs17864092

rs17864092 is a SNP in the glutamate receptor, metabotropic 8 GRM8 gene, encoding a metabotropic receptor for glutamate, a major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system.

A genome-wide association study and an accompanying meta-analysis found some evidence for SNPs in the GRM8 gene, most notably rs17864092, and trait depression (p = 5 x 10e-6).
