NIH AWARDS EMORY 3.6 MILLION FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA GENE RESEARCH NO MENTION THAT ADVANCING PATERNAL AGE IS A ROBUST RISK FACTOR FOR SCHIZOPHRENIA


MEANWHILE HAVE YOUR BABIES BY 33 AND PREVENT PATERNAL AGE RELATED SCHIZOPHRENIA (PARS)



THOMAS INSEL
THE AMOUNT OF PATERNAL AGE SCHIZOPHRENIA SPIKES UPWARDS WITH INCREASING PATERNAL AGE ---UP TO 1/3 OF ALL CASES OF SCHIZOPHRENIA ARE CAUSED BY GENE MUTATIONS IN SPERM MAKING CELLS AND SPERM IN OLDER FATHERS--WHY IS THE PUBLIC NOT TOLD?

NIH Awards Emory $3.6 Million for Schizophrenia Gene Research

The National Institute of Mental Health of the National Institutes of Health has awarded Emory University School of Medicine a $3.6 million research grant to test schizophrenic patients for a recently discovered variation in the human genome. The project is led by Stephen T. Warren, PhD, Timmie Professor and chair of the Department of Human Genetics.




Recently, scientists have discovered an entirely new and previously unknown form of variation in the human genome, called "copy number variation," or CNV. This variation includes deletions and duplications of segments of DNA previously unrecognized in the general population.


Using cutting-edge technology available to only a few major research centers, the Emory project will screen a collection of 500 schizophrenic patients and 500 controls (individuals without schizophrenia) for CNV throughout the entire human genome...........
