Abstract excerpt
As an initial step for genome-wide association studies, we sought an association between schizophrenia and 34 microsatellite markers on chromosomes 19, 20, 21 and 22 by a case-control design. The samples examined for an association were 168 schizophrenic patients and 146 control subjects in the Japanese population. The allele distribution of the 34 loci differed significantly between Japanese and French...
