We found that transcripts encoding factors downstream of TNFRs were increased in high-inflammation schizophrenia, including BCL2, MCL1, CASP7, and P53 mRNAs, while BAX, BID, CASP1, CASP3, CASP8, and CASP9 mRNAs seemed to be unchanged by diagnosis alone. This evidence concerns the gene BCL2 and schizophrenia.
