Abstract excerpt
Several previous studies have reported a significant linkage between markers in the alpha 7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor subunit (CHRNA7) gene and either schizophrenia or the P50 sensory gating deficit, a schizophrenia endophenotype. However, CHRFAM7A, a partially duplicated gene 1.6Mb upstream...
