To find variants in the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) gene that are associated with schizophrenia, mood disorders, or alcohol dependence, all of the exons, the exon-intron boundaries, and the 5' promoter region of the TH gene were systematically screened for variants by single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis followed by...
