  • Title: A genetic study of platelet phenolsulphotransferase activity in normal and schizophrenic twins.
    Author: Reveley AM, Bonham Carter SM, Reveley MA, Sandler M.
    Journal: J Psychiatr Res; ; 17(3):303-7. PubMed ID: 6964793.
    Abstract:
    In a series of 19 identical and 16 fraternal twin pairs, the activities of the two forms of the enzyme, phenolsulphotransferase, denominated M and P, were investigated in blood platelets. Both were shown to be under a high degree of genetic control. No differences were found between 11 schizophrenic patients from discordant twin pairs, compared with their well cotwins and 12 male and female volunteer twin pairs, for either form of the enzyme.
