Abstract excerpt

The recent possible neurodevelopmental etiology of schizophrenia makes neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) gene an interesting candidate locus for molecular study of schizophrenia. We searched DNA variants through the coding region and the AP-1 binding site of the NT-3 gene, and found three variants. One is a...
