The present study included a total 261 patients with schizophrenia and 261 healthy controls to replicate the genetic association between the cathechol-o-methyltransferase gene and schizophrenia using a haplotype block-based gene-tagging. The G-G-G haplotype was found to show a highly significant association with schizophrenia.
本研究共纳入 261 例精神分裂症患者和 261 例健康对照,采用基于单体型块的基因标记技术,对儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶基因与精神分裂症的遗传关联进行了复制。发现 G-G-G 单体型与精神分裂症显著相关。
