| Research Abstract |
Focusing on the biological vulnerability on which the pathogenesis of schizophrenia have been considered to be based, we have explored the genetic variants of schizophrenia susceptible genes. We have conducted association analysis of the interest genetic varints with schizophrenia based on the hypothesis such as the neurodevelopment model of schizophrenia. In addition, we have approached the subject from another perspective to identify the novel schizophrenia susceptible genetic variants using DNA microarray experiments to the postmortem study of schizophrenia, and based on the findings of the microarray analysis, we have conducted further association analysis. As a result, we have identified several important genetic variants associated with schizophrenia.
