Abstract excerpt

The human alpha-7 neuronal nicotinic receptor subunit (CHRNA7) gene, located at chromosome 15q13.2, represents a strong candidate gene for schizophrenia. We have examined an (AC)n dinucleotide repeat in intron 2 of the CHRNA7 gene, which was previously shown to be strongly linked with schizophrenia, using both population-based and family-based association studies. In the population-based study, no significant...
