AB  - The authors studied the prevalence of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) Class I 
      gene in 136 (85 male, 51 female) India-born schizophrenia patients residing in 
      and around the Siliguri subdivision of West Bengal by the PCR-SSP method. The 
      control group consisted of 150 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals from the 
      same ethnic group as the patients. Increased frequency of HLA A*03 as well as 
      decreased frequencies of HLA A*31 and HLA B*51, was noted. The study suggests the 
      possible existence of a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia within the HLA 
      region.
