Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: A number of human and animal studies implicate GSK3 in the pathophysiology and genetics of schizophrenia. In general, the data suggest that phosphorylation levels of GSK3beta are reduced in schizophrenia, resulting in increased GSK3beta activity. Since GSK3beta regulation is altered in schizophrenia, polymorphic variation in this gene may affect susceptibility to schizophrenia or treatment response....
