Schizophrenia: A Pathogenetic Autoimmune Disease Caused by Viruses and Pathogens and Dependent on Genes

Figure 3

(a) Venn diagrams of the number of Schizophrenia gene products ( ) with homology to the rubella, HERV-W and influenza viruses. The singleton in SZ-genes was different on each occasion: Thus, all genes are covered. (b) The viral matching spectra of DISC1, neuregulin, the dopamine D2 receptor and transcription factor 4. The -axis depicts the number of word occurrences on the original BLAST results page. Note the logarithmic axis. (c) The number of pathogens expressing proteins with homology to the protein products of schizophrenia susceptibility genes. Those marked by an asterisk are within the 30 top-ranked genes in SZ-gene http://www.szgene.org/.
