Evolutionarily recent retrotransposons contribute to schizophrenia

Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic elements that constitute half of the human genome. Recent studies suggest that polymorphic non-reference TEs (nrTEs) may contribute to cognitive diseases, such as schizophrenia, through a cis-regulatory effect. The aim of this work is to identify sets of nrTEs putatively linked to an increased risk of developing schizophrenia. To do so, we inspected the nrTE content of genomes from the dorsolateral …

"Life is passions or attachments, which appear to be reasons, killers of tenderness."We are the schizophrenic people us, unpublished. EMP Because emotions are not "managen", emotions "manage us."

The academic of the University of La Serena, Dr. Sebastián Corral, is part of a project that includes 43 research centers from 13 countries, which seeks to delve into the study of risk factors that precede schizophrenia. In Chile, 40 patients participate. Recently, the article “Clinical prediction model for transition to psychosis in individuals meeting At Risk Mental State criteria” was published in the journal Nature Schizophrenia, which is pa…
