Two well‐characterized cannabinoid receptors (CBrs), CB1 and CB2, mediate the effects of
cannabinoids and marijuana use, with functional evidence for other CBrs. CB1 receptors are …

Moyamoya disease is characterized by bilateral stenosis and/or occlusion of the terminal
portion of the internal carotid artery. Moyamoya disease is prevalent among patients <10 years …

A number of lines of evidence make the gene that encodes the G-protein-coupled CB1/Cnr1
receptor a strong candidate to harbor variants that might contribute to individual differences …

We examined linkage between markers at and near the IL4 gene and atopic dermatitis (AD)
in 88 Japanese nuclear families. Affected sib pair analysis suggested linkage between the …
