Identifying the regulatory elements that control gene expression is critical because they may account for differences in brain function from one human to another, and may also underlie disorders such as autism,
schizophrenia and bipolar disease, the researchers said.
Moreover, if there are weight differences
in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder patients, we need to tailor prevention and intervention efforts specific to their needs.»

schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (1 October, p 16) should have been 10.1093 / hmg / ddr416.
Severance says the data add support to the idea that environmental exposures related to lifestyle and immune system factors may be linked to
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and that those factors may be different for each illness.
«Although we can not demonstrate a direct link between Candida infection and physiological brain processes, our data show that some factor associated with Candida infection, and possibly the organism itself, plays a role in affecting the memory of women with
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, and this is an avenue that needs to be further explored,» says Severance.
TWIN studies have shown that people with
schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have changes in gene activity caused by their environment.
