The dystrobrevin binding protein 1 (DTNBP1) gene is associated with schizophrenia in the Irish Case Control Study of Schizophrenia (ICCSS) sample.

ABSTRACT:

Background

DTNBP1 is associated with schizophrenia in many studies, but the associated alleles and haplotypes vary between samples.

Method

We assessed nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in this gene for association with schizophrenia in a new sample of 1021 cases and 626 controls from Ireland.

Results

Four SNPs give evidence of association (0.000018
