Haplotype Transmission Analysis Provides Evidence of Association for DISC1 to Schizophrenia and Suggests Sex-Dependent Effects (2003)

Hennah, William, Varilo, Teppo, Kestilä, Marjo, Paunio, Tiina, Arajärvi, Ritva, Haukka, Jari, ...

We have previously reported a linkage peak on 1q42 in a Finnish schizophrenia sample. In this study we genotyped 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from 1q42 covering the three candidate genes...
