The present study was carried out to examine the relationship of interleukin (IL)‐10 gene polymorphism at position –819 for major depression and schizophrenia in the Korean population. DNA was extracted from 92 Korean patients with major depression, 141 Korean patients with schizophrenia, and 146 et...
