Abstract Deletions of 16p13. 11 have been associated with a variety of phenotypes, and
have also been found in normal individuals. We report on two unrelated patients with severe …

Nuclear distribution factor E-homolog 1 (NDE1), Lissencephaly 1 (LIS1), and NDE-like 1
(NDEL1) together participate in essential neurodevelopmental processes, including …

In a recent guest editorial, 1 Patrick Sullivan questioned several aspects of the original
Scottish t (1; 11) family in which the DISC1 gene was discovered. 2–4 He challenged the …

Background Compelling evidence suggested the role of copy number variations (CNVs) in
schizophrenia susceptibility. Most of the evidence was from studies in populations with …

Abstract Chromosome 17p13. 3 is a gene rich region that when deleted is associated with
the well‐known Miller–Dieker syndrome. A recently described duplication syndrome …

Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a complex and heterogeneous mental disorder that affects about 1%
of global population. In recent years, considerable progress has been made in genetic …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are DNA regions that have gains (duplications) or losses
(deletions) of genetic material. CNVs may encompass a single gene or multiple genes and …

Due to recent advances in human genomic technologies, there have been explosive
interests and extensive research on the genomics of schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric …

Purpose Neurexins are neuronal adhesion molecules located in the presynaptic terminal,
where they interact with postsynaptic neuroligins to form a transsynaptic complex required …

Genetic research targeting schizophrenia has undergone tremendous development during
recent years. Supported by recently developed high-throughput genotyping technologies …
