Schizophrenia is a devastating mental disease, thought to be caused by the interaction of both genetic and environmental factors. Because there is no biochemical test that can identify the disorder, physicians rely upon the recognition of its symptoms - which can include auditory hallucinations and paranoia - in order to make their diagnosis.
A horde of genetic flaws have been tied to both schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in a huge trial that suggests the two mental illnesses have similar roots.
Scientists say they have identified hundreds of tiny genetic variants that together account for more than a third of the inherited risk for schizophrenia.
The largest study of the genetics of schizophrenia ever undertaken has revealed several new common single-letter variants in the sequence of the human genome (SNPs) linked to risk of the disease.
TINY genetic variations may hold the key to schizophrenia, scientists claim.
London, July 2 : An international study led by researchers at the University of California-Los Angeles and nearly 50 institutions worldwide has identified new genes that confirm that the immune system may play a role in the development of Schizophrenia.
A team of scientists identifies thousands of tiny genetic variations which raise the risk of schizophrenia.
Three studies find that thousands of genetic variants probably contribute
Genetic anomalies also are connected to brain development, cognition and other markers of the disorder.
( University of California - Los Angeles ) Researchers at UCLA and colleagues from around the world have, for the first time, identified additional genes that confirm what scientists have long suspected -- that the immune system may play a role in the development of schizophrenia. Further, they have also identified genetic anomalies that disrupt the cellular pathways involved in brain ...
