We sequenced IL-15RA exon from 132 Chinese schizophrenic patients and identified a rare variant(rs528238821) in a patient diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia and ankylosing spondylitis(AS).
These questions were answered by screening the Leu309Met mutation in 117 Israeli Jewish patients with SCZ (55 Ashkenazi and 62 non-Ashkenazi Jews) and 176 matched controls.
