a(CHEBI:nicotine) increases act(a(MESH:"alpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor")) View Subject | View Object

While it is not yet possible to know precisely how well a7 nAChRs are activated by smoked nicotine, one can reasonably hypothesize that the patients’ higher dose of nicotine activates alpha7 nAChRs (Adler et al., 1993; Papke and Thinschmidt, 1998; Royal College of Physicians, 2007) PubMed:21482353

a(MESH:"alpha7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor") association path(MESH:Schizophrenia) View Subject | View Object

Yet some of the other genes identified, such as NRG1, are involved in the assembly of alpha7 nAChRs, further supporting a potential link between alpha7 nAChRs and schizophrenia (Mathew et al., 2007) PubMed:21482353

g(HGNC:CHRFAM7A, var("?")) association path(MESH:Schizophrenia) View Subject | View Object

Polymorphisms in the alpha7 5' promoter and in a nearby partial duplication of the gene, FAM7A, are associated with both schizophrenia and the defect in inhibition (Leonard et al., 2002) PubMed:21482353

Clinical ratings of their negative symptoms, particularly anhedonia (absence of a sense of pleasure) and alogia (poverty of content in their speech), also improve during treatment PubMed:21482353
