Abstract excerpt

The ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a neurotrophic cytokine that plays a critical role in neurodevelopment. On the basis of neurodevelopmental hypothesis, the CNTF gene has been a candidate locus for schizophrenia. Several studies have investigated the association between the null mutation of the gene and schizophrenia, however, with inconsistent results. In the present study, we investigated the...
