In particular, wepropose that the insulin growth factor 2 m-RNA binding protein 2 (IGF2BP2) genetic variants rs4402960 and rs1470579 .associates and replicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus Egyptians (14,15) gene pathways maycontribute to both type 2 diabetes mellitus and schizophrenia Through this exploration , we tried to link thepathogenetic…

There are definitely ups and downs, as well as different variables noted in every research; nonetheless, there have been some consistencies noted in the result of most studies. For instance, in the randomized double-blind study conducted by (Ascher-Svanum et al., 2013), it was conducted so to identify the factors that cause psychiatric hospitalization in patients…
