Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence, including genome-wide linkage scans and postmortem brain studies of patients with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, have suggested that DARPP-32 (dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, 32 kDa), a key regulatory molecule in the dopaminergic signaling pathway, is involved in these disorders. After evaluating the linkage disequilibrium pattern of the gene encoding DARPP-32 (PPP1R1B;...
