Abstract
Studies have shown a strong positive association between schizophrenia and G72/G30, demonstrated by both individual markers and haplotypes. A further functional study also supports the role of G72 in the etiology of schizophrenia. In this study, we have replicated these results of transmission/disequilibrium testing (TDT) and haplotype analysis in the Han Chinese population, showing P values of 0.0018 and 0.00007 for individual markers and haplotypes, respectively. Hence, our data supports the hypothesis that G72/G30 are important candidate genes for explaining schizophrenia in the Han Chinese population.
