摘要
The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the development of malformations in various organs including the brain. A polymorphism in the TSC2 gene has been found to be increased in gangliogliomas, a lesion which is associated with disturbed neuro-glial cell migration pattern. Since these pathomorphological changes are compatible with disturbed neuronal migration in schizophrenic brains, we investigated this polymorphism in 130 families with a schizophrenic index patient. A 222-bp fragment of genomic DNA containing the TSC2 variant was analyzed by SSCP. The analysis revealed that there is no association with schizophrenia.
