Dopamine and schizophrenia from bench to bedside: Discovery of a striatal co-expression risk gene set that predicts in vivo measures of striatal function.

Leonardo Sportelli, Daniel Paul Eisenberg, Roberta Passiatore, Enrico D’Ambrosio, Linda Antonella Antonucci, Qiang Chen, Jasmine Czarapata, Aaron L. Goldman, Michael A. Gregory, Kira Griffiths, Thomas M. Hyde, Joel E. Kleinman, Antonio F. Pardiñas, Madhur Parihar, Teresa Popolizio, , Giulio Pergola

The paper identifies a striatal gene set linked to schizophrenia risk that predicts in vivo dopamine synthesis and striatal activation in neurotypical and patient cohorts.
