Let's understand why homocysteine is a good
candidate marker for a complex inflammatory syndrome that likely involves diet - and environment - driven immune reactivity inside and outside the brain:
The resulting dataset of approximately 1,500 parasite genomes will be the most extensive ever assembled by a single project; in combination with the clinical data generated by TRAC, it is slated to provide the best available resource for shortlisting high -
quality candidate markers.
Working with this hypothesis, the researchers conducted a statistical analysis of the CX3CR1 gene in over 7000 schizophrenia and autism patients and healthy subjects, finding one mutant candidate, a single amino acid switch from alanine to threonine, as
a candidate marker for prediction.
