Abstract excerpt
Several studies have reported significant linkage for schizophrenia on 6p23, with a maximum lod score between D6S274 and D6S285. In this paper, we present a new human kinesin gene localized in this 2-cM interval. This gene, termed KIF13A, belongs to the unc-104/KIF1A kinesin subfamily and represents the orthologue of Drosophila kinesin-73. Several alternative transcripts are differentially expressed in human...
