Sixty-two patients with schizophrenia and 96 normal controls were investigated for genetic association with restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the serotonin receptor genes. A positive association between the serotonin 2A receptor gene (HTR2A) and schizophrenia was found, but not be
A major role of the serotonergic system has been hypothesized in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia, mostly based on the evidence of action of new and atypical neuroleptics such as Risperidone or Clozapine. We evaluated the genotypes and alleles of the 5HT2a receptor gene in 67 nuclear families follo
