Association study of GSK3 gene polymorphisms with schizophrenia and clozapine response

Abstract
A number of human and animal studies implicate GSK3 in the pathophysiology and genetics of schizophrenia. In general, the data suggest that phosphorylation levels of GSK3β are reduced in schizophrenia, resulting in increased GSK3β activity. Since GSK3β regulation is altered in schizophrenia, polymorphic variation in this gene may affect susceptibility to schizophrenia or treatment response.
