Genetic variants in the cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript gene (CARTPT) and cocaine dependence.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Suicide attempt in schizophrenia is an important clinical issue. We performed a genome-wide association study to identify genetic markers, which increase the risk for suicide attempt in schizophrenia. METHODS:Suicide attempt lifetime was assessed in 121 schizophrenia patients and defined by the means of the...
