Исследование мРНК пилотное, вряд ли стоит рассчитывать на то, что это близко к практике.
Briefly, for this pilot study, healthy control subjects (n = 28) and individuals diagnosed according to DSM-IV criteria with schizophrenia (n = 30) or BPD (n = 16) were recruited. All subjects, except three Caucasian controls, were of Han Chinese descent, and all patients with schizophrenia or BPD were inpatients at Ju Shan Hospital in Taoyuan, Taiwan, while control subjects were recruited from hospital staff and volunteers. Final diagnoses were made by two psychiatrists; if there was any disagreement, a third psychiatrist was consulted to resolve the discrepancy.
И вывод весьма здравый.
This approach may be particularly advantageous for the study of psychiatric diseases, since brain tissue biopsies are not obtainable from human subjects, and most psychiatric disorders are not otherwise diagnosable by standard laboratory methods.
Может быть когда-нибудь... Только надо ли?
