Researchers hunting for a "risk gene" came up dry: instead they discovered that environmental factors triumphed.
Siblings and cousins who carry the risk gene evangelize their own approach to managing it, while those who dodged its inheritance seem unqualified to judge.
Because of another risk gene he carries for heart disease, he altered his diet and has been taking a cholesterol-lowering drug for several years.
I, too, learned, rather suddenly, that I carry one copy of the risk gene and thus have a nominal Alzheimer's risk of around thirteen per cent.
If the person who tested the cigarette found a risk gene for a mental disorder and posted the results on Facebook, the information could affect the smoker's social and professional life.
A fifty-five-year-old who is confused and depressed and learns that he carries two copies of the risk gene and stands an eighty-per-cent chance of getting Alzheimer's might reach for a gun, which is the kind of scenario that some genetic counsellors worry about.
Metabotropic glutamate receptor 3 (mGluR3 mGluR3), encoded by GRM3, is a risk gene for schizophrenia and a therapeutic target.
Nicastrin (NCSTN) is a component of the γ-secretase complex and therefore potentially a candidate risk gene for Alzheimer's disease.
that a transient reduction of the schizophrenia risk gene DISC1 can alter prefrontal cortex neurochemistry, architecture, and function.
The results of three different types of silver nanoparticle treatment on E. coli suggested compromised replication fidelity of the risk gene [125].
Genetic and clinical association studies have identified disrupted in schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) as a candidate risk gene for major mental illness.
