Article Synopsis
- Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are functional transcripts linked to neurodevelopmental disorders, and this study examined their expression in the blood of epileptic patients versus normal controls.
- Significant increases were found in two specific lncRNAs in patients, particularly highlighting a gender interaction where male patients showed higher levels compared to male controls.
- Overall, findings suggest a potential role of these lncRNAs in epilepsy and encourage further research to explore their functions.
Previous studies have shown a high level of heritability for most kinds of substance abuse. Certain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) or haplotypes have been shown to influence methamphetamine abuse or the related psychosis. Among the most related pathways in dependence to methamphetamine are dopaminergic system-related genes especially V-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 (AKT1).
