In conclusion, the present study suggests that ERα gene polymorphisms may be associated with the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and RsaI AA genotype of ERβ might have protective effect on age at onset of schizophrenia in Korean patients with schizophrenia.
A number of studies, including previous results from this group, have reported modest evidence of linkage between both bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and a region of chromosome 14 (q22-q24), where the ER beta gene has been localized.
