Genetic study gives new insight into schizophrenia (The Dana Foundation Website - 2 July 2008)
An article about how random genetic mutations may be at the root of schizophrenia appears on the Dana Foundation's website.
Excerpt:
A recent study by
researchers at the University of Washington and Cold Spring Harbor
Laboratories suggests that random errors in the genome, many of them
targeting glutamate pathways, may contribute to schizophrenia. The
results have potential implications for how scientists should study the
neurobiological effects behind the disorder as well as how they
approach the design of new drug and other interventions...
