Resequencing and association study of the NFKB activating protein-like gene (NKAPL) in schizophrenia

This study suggested that rs1635 in the NKAPL gene appeared to play a role in conferring susceptibility to schizophrenia. In addition, some rare SNPs in the NKAPL gene with possibly damaging effects may be important in our patients. Our study provides genetic clues to indicate the involvement of NKAPL in schizophrenia.
