No Association of the Complexin-3 Gene Polymorphism with Schizophrenia
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of Genetics and Gene Therapy - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a multifactorial mental disease. Whereas complex interplay of genes and environment contributes to the SCZ, the disorder has still unclear biological background. Growing amount of evidence showed that synaptic dysfunctions are contributed to SCZ etiopathogenesis.

Transcription Factors in Schizophrenia: A Current View of Genetic Aspects
Background: Schizophrenia is a polygenic mental disorder with about 80% heritability. Growing evidence indicated that synaptic dysfunctions contribute to SCZ etiopathogenesis. The context and purpose of the study: Trans...

In LNCaP Cells Inhibition of BCL-2 by Antisense Oligonucleonucleotides Results in Compensatory Changes in Apoptosis
Antisense oligonucleotides (oligos) have been evaluated for treating prostate cancer in both in vivo and in vitro models. Although most oligos contain a single mRNA binding site, our laboratory evaluates bi-specific olig...
