The present study detected three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), BanISNP at the PLA2G4A locus, rs1648833 at the PLA2G4B locus, and rs1549637 at the PLA2G4C locus, to investigate a genetic association between the cytosolic PLA2 (cPLA2) genes and schizophrenia. A total of 240 Chinese parent-of

## Abstract Schizophrenia is a complex disorder with a multifactorial polygenic inheritance with several genes conferring susceptibility at many genetic locations, each with a small effect. An attractive candidate gene for schizophrenia is the catecholβ__O__βmethyltransferase (__COMT__) gene, which
Genetic anticipation, a phenomenon characterized by increased severity of symptoms and earlier age at onset of a disease in successive generations, is believed to be present in schizophrenia. In several neurodegenerative diseases showing anticipation, the mutation causing the disease is an expanded
