Genetic liability to schizophrenia in Oceanic Palau: a search in the affected and maternal generation.

abstract：:Reports of single base-pair mutations within gene coding regions causing human genetic disease were collated. Thirty-five per cent of mutations were found to have occurred within CpG dinucleotides. Over 90% of these mutations were C----T or G----A transitions, which thus occur within coding regions at a frequency 42-f...

Mutation of other components of this pathway, including the products of the ataxia telangiectasia (AT), GADD45, mdm2, and p21WAF1/CIP1 genes may have effects comparable to mutations in the p53 gene. The GADD45 ge...
