Gene associated with schizophrenia risk regulates early brain development

“This supports the idea that changes early in neurodevelopment can produce effects that may not be triggered until adulthood. Although schizophrenia symptoms typically appear in late adolescence or early adulthood, genetic mutations affecting early neurodevelopment could embed risk for future behavioral changes.”

Maybe Growth Hormone is the triggering agent during adolescence, activating premorbid and prodromal phases.
