Screening schizophrenic patients for mutations in the amyloid precursor protein gene.

abstract：:Numerous family, twin and adoption studies have reported a strong genetic component for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In addition, an extensive amount of literature has implicated abnormalities of the dopaminergic system. In view of this evidence, genes that influence dopaminergic transmission have ...
