Abstract excerpt
A case (based upon an association with cerebral asymmetry) has been presented for a gene for psychosis within the Xq21.3/Yp region of homology that is specific to Homo sapiens. We tested this hypothesis using the pentanucleotide marker DXYS 156 that is located within this region. In 84 families affected by schizophrenia or schizo-affective disorder no tendency toward increased allele sharing amongst siblings was...
