    Author: Dávila R, Zumárraga M, González-Torres MA, Andía I, Zamalloa MI, Basterreche E, Guimón J, Friedhoff AJ.
    Journal: Am J Med Genet; 1995 Apr 24; 60(2):154-6. PubMed ID: 7485251.
    Abstract:
    Plasma homovanillic acid concentration was assessed in 60 young schizophrenic patients, with and without first-degree relatives with schizophrenia, before treatment, and 3 days after starting haloperidol treatment. The baseline concentration of homovanillic acid in plasma was no different in the two groups before treatment; it was, however, significantly higher in the patients with relatives than in those without relatives diagnosed of schizophrenia after 3 days of haloperidol treatment.
