Abstract excerpt
The transcription factor activator protein 2 (AP-2) gene is a possible candidate gene for schizophrenia, since it maps near D6S470, a marker on chromosome 6p24 that provided evidence of linkage to schizophrenia. In the present study we analyzed the promoter region and the whole coding region of the human AP-2 gene in order to identify genetic variations that may lead to the modification of AP-2 expression or the...
