摘要

A method of diagnosing, assessing susceptibility, and/or treating schizophrenia involving the observation of regulator of G-protein signaling 4 (RGS4) levels in a subject. Embodiments of the present invention include increasing RGS4 expression levels in the cortex, either by chemical means or by genetic complementation (e.g. gene therapy).
