Sequencing of the insulin receptor (INSR) gene reveals association between gene variants in exon and intron 13 and schizoaffective disorder.
OBJECTIVES: From the hypothesis that an impaired insulin and insulin-like growth factor cellular signalling in brain and body might result in the development of schizophrenia or related psychoses, I in this study chose to thoroughly investigate the insulin receptor gene in patients with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder and cont.....
