  • Schizophrenia gene signatures and methods of using the same
    Publication number: 20070172831
    Abstract: Compositions and methods that are useful for the diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia are provided. More specifically, “gene signatures” are described that are characteristic of schizophrenia in an individual. The specific classes of genes that can be identified from these signatures are useful in that they provide the basis for identification of novel therapeutic protein targets for the treatment of schizophrenia, and provide potential diagnostic markers for schizophrenia and markers for evaluating the therapeutic response to antipsychotic agents.
