There's a window of time in our lives we've all passed through yet still know so little about: early gestation.
  • Researchers have found genetic changes associated with schizophrenia during early pregnancy.
  • These changes can be acquired long before you get to know the world.
  • Schizophrenia is a serious neurological disorder resulting from a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
  • Mutations in the NRXN1 and ABCB11 genes may make a small but significant contribution to the genetic architecture of schizophrenia.
  • More research is needed to clarify the role of these changes in the development of schizophrenia.
