Increased expression of hsa-miR-208b-3p, hsa-miR-494-5p, and hsa-miR-208a-3p may augment susceptibility to schizophrenia by simultaneously conferring susceptibility to apoptosis and altering neural processing and connectivity through the suppression of BCL2 and CACNA1C, respectively. This evidence concerns the gene CACNA1C and schizophrenia.
