A schizophrenia gene locus on chromosome 17q21 in a new set of families of mexican and central american ancestry: evidence from the NIMH genetics of schizophrenia in latino populations study
(Am J Psychiatry 2009;166:442-449, 2009-02-02)
The present study investigated a new set of families of Latin American ancestry in order to detect the location of genes predisposing to schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Method: A genome-wide scan was performed ...
Adjudicating Neurocognitive Endophenotypes for Schizophrenia
(American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B (Neuropsychiatric Genetics) 144B:242–249 (2007), 2007-03-05)

difficult. Given evidence that genes predisposing
to schizophrenia may be ...
Family-based association of an ANK3 haplotype with bipolar disorder in Latino populations
(Translational Psychiatry (2013) 3, e265, 2013-05-28)
Some of the most
consistent findings have been in variants located in the ANK3
