Do COMT, BDNF and NRG1 polymorphisms influence P50 sensory gating in psychosis?
27 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Auditory P50 sensory gating deficits correlate with genetic risk for schizophrenia and constitute a plausible endophenotype for the disease. The well-supported role of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neuregulin 1 (NRG1) genes in neurodevelopment and cognition make a strong theoretical case for their influence on the P50 endophenotype. METHOD: The...
