Diagnosis of schizophrenia by linkage of a polymorphic marker to a segment of chromosome 1q22 bordered by d1s2705 and d1s1679

摘要

The invention maps a gene (SCZ) associated with schizophrenia to the q22 region of chromosome 1. The invention exploits this discovery to provide methods of diagnosing schizophrenia and schizophrenia susceptibility, methods of screening for the SCZ gene, and libraries of cloned segments including the SCZ gene.
