Stress and the Genetic Pathway of Schizophrenia: Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis of the role of early growth response 3 protein (EGR3) in the regulation of the Htr2a gene using mice

Schizophrenia affects 1.1% of the population worldwide. Schizophrenia is a complex, multifactorial disorder. Stress can trigger psychotic episodes and exacerbate schizophrenic symptoms. For humans, one gene implicated in stress and schizophrenia in humans is the early growth response 3 (EGR3).
