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

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
