Association of the nicotinic receptor α7 subunit gene (CHRNA7) with schizophrenia and visual backward masking

Association of the nicotinic receptor α7 subunit gene (CHRNA7) with schizophrenia and visual backward masking

The nicotinic system is involved in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. However, very little is known about its genetic basis and how it relates to clinical symptoms and potentially pharmacological intervention. Here, we investigated five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) [rs3826029] [rs23375...
