Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has identified a link between mutations in the DISC1 gene and schizophrenia. The DISC1 gene is involved in the regulation of neurodevelopment, including the differentiation and migration of neurons in the developing brain. Mutations in this gene have been shown to affect neuronal connectivity and lead to impaired cognitive function, which may contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.  The other options are incorrect as they do not involve mutations in the DISC1 gene.
