The TNFSF10 gene plays a role in the p53-mediated programmed cell death, which is activated after cells get exposed to DNA damage.[73] Previous research has implicated modulations in cell apoptosis in schizophrenia,[74,75] but no direct link between the current gene, apoptosis and schizophrenia was found. Here, TNFSF10 is linked to schizophrenia.
