Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify genetic markers linked to schizophrenia in the Bulgarian population, focusing on the genetic and environmental factors involved in the disorder.
- Researchers performed a genome-wide association study analyzing over half a million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on samples from affected and unaffected individuals.
- They discovered a significant association between schizophrenia and the SNP rs7527939 in the HHAT gene, indicating it may be a key marker for susceptibility to the disorder in this population.
The development of molecular psychiatry in the last few decades identified a number of candidate genes that could be associated with schizophrenia. A great number of studies often result with controversial and non-conclusive outputs. However, it was determined that each of the implicated candidates would independently have a minor effect on the susceptibility to that disease.
