Schizophrenia Gene

A recent cross-cultural study reveals two previously unknown genes linked to schizophrenia.

A recent study has discovered that near-about 80 per cent of schizophrenia risk is linked with the genes inherited from parents. Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder that hinders a person's ability to behave, feel, and think in a normal manner.

Individuals who have a brother or sister with mental disorders may be at an increased risk of developing the condition, a study has warned.

Scientists say they have conclusive evidence that changes to a gene called SETD1A can dramatically raise the risk of developing schizophrenia - a finding that should help the search for new treatments.

Scientists have been able to link the abnormal behaviour of two genes to the underlying cause of schizophrenia. The findings provide a new target for schizophrenia treatment.

Scientists have discovered a link between autism and genetic changes in some segments of DNA that are responsible for switching on genes in the brain.

Genes that increase the risk of a person developing schizophrenia may also increase the chance they will use cannabis, researchers said on Tuesday after studying more than 1,000 users of the drug.

Siblings of people suffering from schizophrenia can show certain brain abnormalities, which gradually diminish by early adulthood.

Anxiety and related disorders, which are the most common psychiatric disorders, may be caused due to an abnormality in a gene, according to a recent Spanish study. The research team led by a geneticist and a psychiatrist has found that anxiety disorders such as panic attack and agoraphobia may be caused due to mutation in a gene in the 15th chromo...
