Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: There is evidence of linkage between chromosome 15q14 and the P50 auditory evoked response, a heritable neuropsychological marker associated with increased risk of schizophrenia. Chromosome 15q14 harbors the alpha-7 nicotinic receptor subunit gene (CHRNA7) and a hybrid gene of unknown function (CHRFAM7A). CHRNA7 is involved in memory formation, a core dysfunction in schizophrenia. The authors set out...
