# Associations of psychiatric disease and ageing with FKBP5 expression converge on superficial layer neurons of the neocortex

A quote:

Here, we performed an extensive, large-scale postmortem study (n = 1024) of FKBP5/ 1, examining neocortical areas (BA9, BA11 and ventral BA24/BA24a) derived from subjects that lived with schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. […] We identified consistently heightened FKBP5/ 1 levels in psychopathology and with age, but not genotype, with these effects strongest in schizophrenia.
