Abstract excerpt
Although genome wide association studies have highlighted MicroRNA 137 (MIR137) as a novel susceptibility gene for schizophrenia, the mechanisms by which MIR137 risk variants mediate the neurobiology of schizophrenia are not clear. Based on extant data linking MIR 137 gene with structural brain anomalies and functional brain activations in schizophrenia, we hypothesized that MIR137 risk variants rs1625579 and...
