Since the discovery of the first microRNA 25 years ago, microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged
as critical regulators of gene expression within the mammalian brain. miRNAs are small non …

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have revealed substantial genetic components
comprised of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the heritable risk of psychiatric …

The MIR137HG gene encoding microRNA-137 (miR-137) is genome-wide associated with
schizophrenia (SZ), however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unknown …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of schizophrenia have strongly implicated a risk
locus in close proximity to the gene for miR-137. While there are candidate single-nucleotide …

The present case report describes a young man diagnosed with schizophrenia and presents
a “revolving door”(RD) phenomenon. He was hospitalized in an acute psychiatric clinic three …

Obesity is becoming an epidemic in Latin American countries. Genetic analyses of
endophenotypes for obesity, such as body mass index (BMI), are quite useful for research. In …

The MIR137 gene encodes microRNA-137 (miR-137), which is a brain-enriched miR that is
highly expressed in various brain regions. miR-137 has been identified as a modulator of …

Background Situation awareness (SA) is defined in three levels: SA1 is the perception of the
elements in a specific context, SA2 is the comprehension of their meaning, and SA3 is the …

The aim of the current study was to test the hypothesis that a functional polymorphism in the
synaptosome associated protein 25 (SNAP25) gene could be associated with impulsivity …

Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic, and debilitating disease with a worldwide lifetime
prevalence of around 5 per 1,000 persons and an estimated heritability of around 0.64 (1, 2) …
