Analyzing the genes related to nicotine addiction or schizophrenia via a pathway and network based approach

Abstract The prevalence of tobacco use in people with schizophrenia is much higher than in general population, which indicates a close relationship between nicotine addiction and schizophrenia. However, the molecular mechanism underlying the high comorbidity of tobacco smoking and schizophrenia rema...
