Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To identify cis-acting regulatory variants influencing the expression of the schizophrenia susceptibility gene chitinase 3-like 1 gene (CHI3L1) in human lymphoblasts and post-mortem brain tissue. METHODS: To investigate the role of cis-acting regulatory variants in controlling gene expression of CHI3L1 we quantified relative allelic abundance in individuals heterozygous for the transcribed polymorphism...
