Sulfotransferase 4A1 (SULT4A1) is a novel sulfotransferase expressed almost exclusively in the brain. The gene is located on chromosome 22q13.3, a region implicated in predisposition to schizophrenia. Recently, a variable microsatellite region located upstream of SULT4A1 was found to be associated with an increase in schizophrenia risk. We hypothesised that if functional dysregulation of SULT4A1 was involved in...
