In relation to these studies, and as a potential link for GABA's involvement in psychosis, Veldic et al. (2005) demonstrated a decreased number of neurons expressing mRNA for GAD-67 within the PFC of brains from schizophrenia and bipolar subjects with a history of psychosis with a concomitant increase in cortical DNA-methyltransferase I (DNMT1), an enzyme preferentially expressed by interneurons, causing a possible down-regulation of promoter functioning within these cells (Veldic et al., 2005). The gene discussed is GAD1; the disease is schizophrenia.
