✦ Synopsis

A missense polymorphism (glycine to serine) in the first exon of the dopamine D3 (DRD3) gene was examined in a sib-pairs schizophrenia collection by the transmission test for linkage disequilibrium (TDT).

No association due to linkage disequilibrium was detected using TDT. Additionally, no evidence for excess homozygosity was found.

Dopamine ␤-hydroxylase (DBH), the enzyme that converts dopamine to norepinepherine, has been proposed as being involved in the aetiology of schizophrenia. Previous work identified a functional polymorphism at nucleotide 910 of the DBH gene that results in a codon change in the mature protein Ala304S

Patients with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) deficiency often show psychiatric manifestations. Since a common variant of the MTHFR gene, T677(Ala), responsible for the thermolabile MTHFR with less than 50% specific MTHFR activity, has been reported, we examined whether the T677 allele i
