Project name: Mus musculus

Description: Schnurri-2 (Shn-2), an NF-kappa B site-binding protein, tightly binds to the enhancers of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes and inflammatory cytokines, which have been shown to harbor common variant single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with schizophrenia. Shn-2 knockout mice show behavioral abnormalities that strongly resemble those of schizophrenics. We performed gene expression microarray analysis of dentate gyri from Shn-2 knockout and wild-type control mice.Overall design: Dentate gyrus RNA isolated from six Shn-2 knockout and six control wild-type mice were compared.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression

Sample scope: Multiisolate

Relevance: ModelOrganism
