Abstract excerpt
The missense SNP NC_000004.12:g.102267552C>T (also known as SLC39A8.p.(Ala391Thr), rs13107325) in SLC39A8 encodes a zinc transporter. This SNP has been linked to schizophrenia and is the likely causal variant for one of the genome-wide association loci associated with the disorder. Using regression analyses, we tested whether the schizophrenia-risk allele at p.(Ala391Thr) was associated with schizophrenia-related...
