A family-based transmission disequilibrium test of single nucleotide polymorphisms in exon 4 of ZNF804A gene in Han Chinese patients with schizophrenia / 第二军医大学学报

Objective To investigate the association of the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exon 4 of ZNF804A gene with schizophrenia in a family-trios sample. Methods MassARRAY genotyping technique and the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) were employed to study the association of SNPs (seven nonsynonymous and two intronic) encompassing exon 4 of ZNF804A gene with schizophrenia in 69 nuclear families. Results (1) Four SNPs (rs79776875, rs78816540, rs79082132 and rs62198467) in this study were found to be rare variants (0
