Structural characterization of a polymorphic repeat at the CACNA1C schizophrenia locus
2024-03-07
Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation within intron 3 of the CACNA1C calcium channel gene is associated with schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric disorders, but analysis of the causal variants and their effect is complicated by a nearby variable-number tandem repeat (VNTR). Here, we explored the structure and population variability of the CACNA1C intron 3 VNTR using 155 long-read genome assemblies from 78 diverse individuals. Bas...
