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.
