Abstract

An association between schizophrenia and the T102C polymorphism of the gene for 5-hydroxytryptamine type 2a (5-HT2a) receptor has been reported; the proportion of allele 2 of this polymorphism is higher than expected among schizophrenic patients. We looked for an association between schizophrenia and this variant of the 5-HT2a-receptor gene in a large multicentre study.
