Abstract excerpt
Mounting evidence from clinical and basic research suggests that estrogen signaling may be altered in the brains of people with schizophrenia. Previously, we found that DNA sequence variation in the estrogen receptor (ER) alpha gene, lower ERalpha mRNA levels, and/or blunted ERalpha signaling is associated with schizophrenia. In this study, we asked whether the naturally occurring truncated ERalpha isoform,...
