Abstract excerpt
Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) has been implicated in neurotrophy and neurogenesis, which play a pivotal role in brain development and may be involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). We hypothesized that common genetic variants in the VEGFA gene may be associated with SCZ. In our study, seven tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within VEGFA were genotyped in 1034 SCZ patients...
