Disrupted in schizophrenia 1: building brains and memories
چکیده انگلیسی

Schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder are common, debilitating, and poorly understood and treated disorders. Both conditions are highly heritable. Recent genetic studies have suggested that the gene disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is an important risk factor. DISC1 seems to have a key role in building the brain and memories by interacting with other proteins, including nuclear distribution E-like protein and phosphodiesterase 4B. Here, we review the current knowledge, highlight some key unanswered questions and propose ways forward towards a better understanding of normal and abnormal brain development and function. In the long term, this might lead to the discovery of drugs that are more efficacious and safer than currently available ones.
