The CNV duplications on chromosome 16p13.1 have been shown to be a risk factor for neuropsychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia (Ingason et al., 2011), and the candidate genes within the region of this CNV duplication that are associated with schizophrenia include the NTAN1 and NDE1 genes, which encode nuclear N-terminal asparagine amidase 1 and distribution protein nude homolog 1 proteins, respectively. Here, NDE1 is linked to schizophrenia.
