DNMT1 and schizophrenia: It is pertinent to mention that study by Veldic et al. (2005) found no significant correlation between intake of atypical antipsychotics and expression levels of DNA-methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), an enzyme that catalyzes the methylation of cytosine at carbon atoms in position 5 in CpG dinucleotides, and is overexpressed in post-mortem brains and peripheral blood samples of patients with BD and schizophrenia (Veldic et al., 2004, 2005; Zhubi et al., 2009).
