A genetic locus for paranoia.

Biology letters - 1 Jan 2018

Crespi Bernard, Read Silven, Salminen Iiro, Hurd Peter

Abstract excerpt

The psychological effects of brain-expressed imprinted genes in humans are virtually unknown. Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a neurogenetic condition mediated by genomic imprinting, which involves high rates of psychosis characterized by hallucinations and paranoia, as well as autism. Altered expression of two brain-expressed imprinted genes, MAGEL2 and NDN, mediates a suite of PWS-related phenotypes, including...
