Discovering functional interactions among schizophrenia-risk genes by combining behavioral genetics with cell biology.

Abstract excerpt

Despite much progress in identifying risk genes for polygenic brain disorders, their core pathogenic mechanisms remain poorly understood. In particular, functions of many proteins encoded by schizophrenia risk genes appear diverse and unrelated, complicating the efforts to establish the causal relationship between genes and behavior. Using various mouse lines, recent studies indicate that alterations of...
