In our search for candidate genes for affective disorder on the short arm of chromosome 18, we cloned IMPA2, a previously unreported myo-inositol monophosphatase gene, that maps to 18p11.2. We determined its genomic structure and detected three new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In the present study, we screened the gene further to search for additional polymorphisms in Japanese samples and identified...
