Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To examine the risk of schizophrenia in a Danish population after exposure to early life stress, and whether this risk is modified by DNA sequence variation, specifically two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs5479 and rs56303414) from the gene HSD11B2. This gene encodes the enzyme 11-β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 which converts active cortisol into inactive cortisone. METHODS: A...
