| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Psychiatric disorders, even with schizophrenia alone, have an incidence of 1% of the population, and there is no curative treatment, which is a social problem. For that reason, large-scale of genome wide association studies and research to elucidate the molecular pathology of the disease have been conducted, but the molecular pathologies of onset are still unknown. We conducted a family survey of psychiatric disorders and found a with large schizophrenia family. In this study, genome analysis and establishment of disease specific iPS cells were carried out in the same family to study the pathology, and we have identified disease related genes.
