We studied the relationship between schizophrenia and the DdeI polymorphism in the 5 untranslated region (5UTR) of the dopamine D1 receptor (DRD1) gene. This polymorphism is an A (A1 allele) to G (A2 allele) transition in the 5 UTR of exon 2 at bp -48 (A-48G). One hundred forty-eight schizophrenics

## Catechol -O-methyltransferase (COMT) catalyzes the degradation of catecholamines and could therefore play a role in the etiology of schizophrenia. Moreover, microdeletions including the COMT locus have been found in schizophrenics presenting typical features of the velo-cardio-facial syndrome.
