Abstract
Homocysteine is becoming increasingly recognized as an important substance in the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of schizophrenia. In this review, we first present background information supporting a role for homocysteine in schizophrenia. We then discuss our work on the role of hyperhomocystinemia during adulthood and risk of schizophrenia, and present preliminary evidence on a potential relationship between prenatal homocysteine and schizophrenia. Finally, we discuss the implications of these findings for future work on nutritional etiologies of schizophrenia.
