Schizophrenia genetic risk factor weakens mitochondrial function: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers have investigated overlapping patterns of altered gene activity in two separate models of the 3q29 deletion syndrome, including human brain organoids and mice with the deletion produced via CRIPSR. Mitochondrial activity has declined in each of these systems.
