abstract = {AIM:
To investigate the correlation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of functional candidate gene Prodynorphin (PDYN) and schizophrenia.
METHODS:
SNPs in the promoter and exon regions of PDYN were screened and genotyped for association study in a cohort of Chinese Han schizophrenia cases and controls.
RESULTS:
Two SNPs PDYN-1576C>T and PDYN-946C>G were identified in the promoter region but PDYN-946C>G showed significant differences of allele distribution (x2=6.15, P=0.013) and genotype distribution (x2=6.87, P=0.032) between schizophrenic and control subjects.
CONCLUSION:
PDYN-946C>G polymorphism demonstrated an association with population susceptibility to schizophrenia.},
