Recently, it has been suggested that trinucleotide repeat-containing genes may be involved in the etiology of schizophrenia. This study was aimed at investigating putative associations between allelic variants or expansions of CAG repeat-containing genes (CAGrCG) and schizophrenia or its variability with respect to responsiveness to conventional neuroleptics. CAG repeat allelic variants of 14 expressed sequences...
