Abstract excerpt
Several lines of evidence suggest a possible role for reelin in the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental diseases, particularly schizophrenia. Genes encoding reelin and proteins involved in the signal pathway of reelin are thus candidate genes for schizophrenia. We examined the polymorphic CGG repeat in the 5'-untranslated region (UTR) of the reelin gene, which was recently found to be associated with autistic...
