Genetic association study of a polymorphic CAG repeats array of calcium-activated potassium channel (KCNN3) gene and schizophrenia among the Chinese population from Taiwan.

Abstract excerpt

Chandy et al suggested that a novel human neuronal small conductance, calcium-activated potassium channel gene, KCNN3, might be a candidate for schizophrenia. The KCNN3 cDNA sequences contain two stretches of CAG trinucleotide repeats encoding two separate polyglutamine segments near the N-terminus of this channel protein. The second CAG repeat was found to be highly polymorphic in the Caucasian population from...
