Schizophrenia genetic risk factor impairs mitochondrial function: Rutgers researcher discovers possible link of mitochondrial function to the development of schizophrenia

Researchers at Rutgers and Emory University are gaining insights into how schizophrenia develops by studying the strongest-known genetic risk factor. When a small portion of Chromosome 3 is missing — known as 3q29 deletion syndrome — it increases the risk for schizophrenia by about 40 fold. Researchers have now analyzed overlapping patterns of altered gene […]
