Abstract

An association between the cytosolic phospholipase A2 locus (cPLA2) and schizophrenia has been reported using two polymorphic DNA markers. In an attempt to replicate these results, two independent family-based samples were ascertained from the United States and India (86 and 159 families, respectively). No significant associations were detected in either sample.
