In addition, given the reports of an association between schizophrenia and SNPs in the UHMK1 gene (encoding the KIS protein) [20], [21] we searched for reduced prepulse inhibition, which is a known endophenotype for schizophrenia and is considered as a useful phenotype for detecting models of schizophrenia in mouse [22]. This evidence concerns the gene UHMK1 and schizophrenia.
