1 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a devastating psychiatric disorder with a median lifetime prevalence rate of 0.7-0.8%. Elevated plasma total homocysteine has been suggested as a risk factor for SCZ, and various biological effects of hyperhomocysteinemia have been proposed to be relevant to the pathophysiology of SCZ. As increased attention is paid to aberrant DNA methylation in SCZ, homocysteine is attracting additional...
