"The present study detected 9 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the PLA2G4C and PLA2G6 loci among 240 Chinese parent-offspring trios of Han descent."

"Of these 9 SNPs, 5 showed highly polymorphic in the Chinese population," wrote Y.Q. Yu and colleagues, Schizophrenia Association of Great Britain.
