Abstract excerpt
Several linkage studies support a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia on chromosome 8p21-22. In this study, we investigated a gene mapping to 8p21, dihydropyrimidinase-like 2 (DPYSL2). DPYSL2 plays an important role in axonal formation and dysfunction of DPYSL2 may result in neurodevelopmental abnormalities. In previous studies, the expression of the gene has been shown to display alteration in the brain of...
