What is New Gene Mutation Linked to Schizophrenia about?

An international research team identified a gene mutation in the VIPR2 gene that is strongly linked to schizophrenia. The VIPR2 gene helps regulate neuron formation and activity in the brain. The researchers found duplications of the VIPR2 gene on chromosome 7q in people diagnosed with schizophrenia at a rate 14 times higher than in healthy controls. This mutation may impact the VIP receptor pathway in the brain and could provide a new target for developing drug therapies to treat schizophrenia.
