| 摘要 |
Nucleic acids comprising the neuregulin 1 gene (NRG1) and encoding NRG1 polypeptides are disclosed. Also described are related nucleic acids encoding NRG1 polypeptides; NRG1 polypeptides; antibodies that bind to NRG1 polypeptides; methods of diagnosis of susceptibility to schizophrenia; assays for agents that alter the activity of NRG1 polypeptide or which identify NRG1 binding agents, and the agents or binding agents identified by the assays; NRG1 therapeutic agents, including the NRG1 nucleic acids, NRG1 polypeptides, or agents that alter the activity of an NRG1 polypeptides; pharmaceutical compositions comprising the NRG1 therapeutic agents; as well as methods of therapy of schizophrenia.
