The zinc transporter gene SLC30A4, located on chromosome 15q15-q21, has previously been reported to show altered expression patterns in post mortem analysis of the brains of schizophrenic patients. As a positional candidate we investigated SLC30A4 in the chromosome 15q15-linked schizophrenic phenotype periodic catatonia (MIM 605419), by means of a systematic mutation screening in affected individuals from exceptionally large pedigrees with perfect co-segregation of a chromosomal segment between marker D15S1042 and D15S659 in all affected individuals. The mutation scan revealed no genetic variants within the coding and the putative promoter region of SLC30A4 and, thus, excludes a genetic association of SLC30A4 with catatonic schizophrenia.
