Finding the genes for schitzophrenia
RESEARCHERS from UWA and the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research (WAIMR) have been involved with identifying five novel schizophrenia loci (chromosomal regions) by studying common genetic variation using studies. The authors speculate that this variation (SNP) in MIR137 could contribute to brain development abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia.
