Is the polymorphic microsatellite repeat of the dopamine beta-hydroxylase gene associated with biochemical variability of the catecholamine pathway in schizophrenia?

Biological psychiatry - 1 Apr 1997

Wei J, Xu H M, Ramchand C N, Hemmings G P

Abstract excerpt

Six allelic fragments were typed by a polymerase chain reaction process with a pair of primers specific for a sequence containing the polymorphic (GT)n repeat, a microsatellite repeat, in the human dopamine beta-hydroxylase (DBH) gene. Their frequencies in unrelated patients with schizophrenia were 0.003 (A1), 0.114 (A2), 0.343 (A3), 0.526 (A4), 0.006 (A5), and 0.009 (A6), and in unrelated control subjects, 0.012...
