Fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) gene family encode fatty acid-binding proteins and consist of at least 12 members, of which FABP7, 5 and 3 are expressed in the brain. We previously showed that FABP7 is associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Recently, genetic overlap between autism and schizophrenia has been reported. Therefore, in this study, we set out to examine the possible roles of...
