Association of schizophrenia in African Americans to polymorphism in synapsin III gene.

Abstract excerpt

Linkage studies in families with schizophrenia have pointed to chromosome 22q12-q13 as one of several regions of the genome that may contain a susceptibility gene. The gene coding for synapsin III, an intrinsic synaptic vesicle membrane protein, maps to this target region. Two tightly linked single-nucleotide polymorphisms were recently found in a small subset of patients with SZ - a synonymous variant, L469L...
