The current study provides evidence supporting the candidacy of NRG1 as a susceptibility gene in psychosis spectrum disorders, particularly BD. Positive Comment on Study
Moon, E.,2011 SNP: rs3924999, rs6994992 In conclusion, the present findings do not support association of the NRG1 variants in the CVCR population with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder. Negative Comment on Study
