Скачать или смотреть Single Gene Mutation Causes Mental Illness: Groundbreaking Study Explained

A groundbreaking study has revealed that changes in a single gene, GRIN2A, can cause mental illnesses like schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and depression. This challenges the previous belief that these conditions arise from multiple genetic factors. Led by Professor Johannes Lemke, the research identifies GRIN2A as a key factor, with certain variants leading to early-onset symptoms in childhood or adolescence. The study also highlights potential therapeutic implications, as patients showed marked improvements with L-serine therapy. Learn how this discovery could revolutionize diagnosis and treatment for mental disorders.
