Genetic Variability of TCF4 in Schizophrenia of Southern Chinese Han Population: A Case-Control Study.

abstract：:Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are transcripts which are usually more than 200 nt in length, and which do not have the protein-coding capacity. LncRNAs can be categorized based on their generation from distinct DNA elements, or derived from specific RNA processing pathways. During the past several decades, dramatic pr...
