In a previous study, a genome scan of a subset of schizophrenia families from Palau, Micronesia gave evidence suggestive of linkage to microsatellite markers at 2p13-14. In addition, in a large extended multiplex pedigree (K1583), an 11 cM 2p13-14 haplotype segregated with the illness in eight distantly related schizophrenics. The haplotype region includes a neutral amino acid transporter, ASCT1. We...
