Abstract excerpt
Recent genetic analyses have suggested a linkage between schizophrenia and the chromosomal region 22q12-q13. 14-3-3 protein, abundant in the brain, mediates interactions between diverse molecules of biological activities; its gene was recently mapped to chromosome 22q12.1-q13.1. We therefore investigated allele frequencies of a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) in the 5'-noncoding region of the 14-3-3 eta...
