IDENTIFICATION OF SNP'S ASSOCIATED WITH SCHIZOPHRENIA, SCHIZOAFFECTIVE DISORDER AND BIPOLAR DISORDER

摘要

The present invention provides the identification of a number of SNPs that are associated schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder and related mental disorders which were found to be strongly linked to individuals with the disease. The invention provides SNP locations on human chromosome 6, as well as methods of making PCR primers and assays for detecting the SNPs in tested individuals.
