Catechol-O-methyltransferase is a candidate in the predisposition to schizophrenia both because of its function and the position of its gene. A multipoint non-parametric linkage analysis and a transmission disequilibrium test were performed on 42 multiplex families genotyped for Pml I and Eel I polymorphisms using two definitions of the affected phenotype. Neither linkage nor preferential transmission of any allele or haplotype was detected, failing to replicate previous positive findings. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
