We further showed that transcription of the Fez1 gene in OL cells is governed by a sophisticated functional interplay between histone acetylation-mediated chromatin modification and transcription factors that are dysregulated in schizophrenia.
Genome-wide association study in a Swedish population yields support for greater CNV and MHC involvement in schizophrenia compared with bipolar disorder.

Furthermore, genetic association analysis of two independent cohorts of schizophrenia patients and healthy controls reveals an epistatic interaction between FEZ1 and DISC1, but not between FEZ1 and NDEL1, for risk of schizophrenia.

We concluded that the missense mutation Asp123Glu of the FEZ1 gene is unlikely to play a substantial role in the genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia.
Variation at the FEZ1 locus does not play a significant role in the etiology of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder or schizoaffective disorder in North American Caucasian or African American populations.Neuropsychopharmacology (2007) 32, 190-196. doi:10.1038/sj.npp.1301177; published online 16 August 2006.
Growing evidence supports the view that the well-established genetic risk factor DISC1 plays an important role in schizophrenia biology by interacting with FEZ1 and NDEL1 during neurodevelopment and with the phosphodiesterase PDE4B in neuronal cell signalling.

Furthermore, single-nucleotide polymorphisms association studies in a Japanese population have shown the relation of the Fez1, PACAP and PACAP receptor (PAC1) genes to schizophrenia.
However, the expression of NUDEL, FEZ1 and LIS1 was each significantly reduced in the brain tissue from patients with schizophrenia and expression of each showed association with high-risk DISC1 polymorphisms.
