These findings suggest that the G72/G30 gene may modulate the age at onset and there might be a potential interaction between this locus and sex in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
Our family-based association study supports the suggestion that the G72/G30 gene may be implicated in susceptibility to schizophrenia and there may be an interaction between this gene and sex in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia.
We hypothesized that 1) polymorphic changes in this gene region might be associated with schizophrenia in the Ashkenazi Jewish population and that 2) changes in G72/G30 gene expression might be expected in schizophrenic patients compared with control subjects.
