Drugs targeting SNPrs35753505 of the NRG1 gene may prevent the association of neurological disorder schizophrenia in a Pakistani population.

Abstract excerpt

The Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) gene has been associated with schizophrenia in several populations, and all four types of NRG1 genes are linked with neurotransmitters activities. In this study for the first time we have demonstrated an association between NRG1 mutation and schizophrenia in Pakistani population. We examined the relationship of three genetic variants SNPs: rs3924999, rs2954041 and rs35753505 of NRG1 gene...
