Gene expression of peripheral blood lymphocytes may discriminate patients with ...
Palha, Joana Almeida; Maschietto, Mariana; Silva, Aderbal R.; Puga, Renato; Lima, Leandro; Pereira, Carlos B.; Nakano, Eduardo Y.; Mello, BarbaraTo identify a classifier in schizophrenia, blood gene expression profiling was applied to patients with schizophrenia under different treatments and to controls. Expression of six genes discriminated patients with sensitivity of 89.3% and specificity of 90%, supporting the use of peripheral blood as biological material for diagnosis in schizophrenia.
NR4A2 and schizophrenia: Lack of association in a Portuguese/Brazilian study
Ruano, Dina; Macedo, António; Dourado, Ana; Soares, Maria João; Valente, José; Coelho, Isabel; Santos, Vítor; Azevedo, Maria Helena; Goodman, AnnThe present study investigates the association of mutations in the nuclear receptor NR4A2 in schizophrenic patients. The human Nur-related receptor 1, NR4A2, is an orphan nuclear receptor that can be constitutively active as a transcription factor and for which no natural ligand has yet been identified. Alone or with retinoid X receptor, RXR, NR4A2 influences the expression of several genes important for human ...
