The present study investigated polymorphisms of the NOTCH 4 gene in two independent samples from India and USA, consisting of patients with schizophrenia and their parents (n = 182, and n = 148 ‘trios,’ respectively). Five DNA markers, namely (GAAG) n , (TAA) n , SNP1, SNP2, and (CTG) n were evaluated. Transmission distortion, consistent with a modest association was detected among both samples. Additional association studies at this locus are warranted. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
