How many regions of chromosome 6 with causative variants were identified in Schizophrenia?
How many regions of chromosome 6 with causative variants were identified in Schizophrenia?
Homework Answers
Ans:4 different regions.
It is known that the MHC locus on chromosome 6 is a strong risk area.
McCarroll and colleagues explored on the particular region of the MHC with the highest GWAS score.and idenified the C4 gene
The C4 gene can exist in multiple copies (from one to four) on each copy of chromosome 6, and has four different forms: C4A-short, C4B-short, C4A-long, and C4B-long. These are the regions with causative factors for schizophrenia.

Question 6 2 pts How should the correlation between schizophrenia and birth complications be interpreted? Birth complications may trigger schizophrenia, or an infant who is vulnerable to schizophrenia may be difficult to carry and deliver, or both. O Birth complications are never part of the medical history for patients with schizophrenia Birth complications clearly cause schizophrenia in the mother. O Birth complications clearly lead to the later development of schizophrenia in the child. Question 7 2 pts Klaus was diagnosed...
