Thirteen up-regulated and 13 down-regulated genes outside of the 22q11.2 region were among the list of 883 suspected SZ candidate genes obtained from Schizophrenia Forum (http://www.schizophreniaforum.org). Interestingly, out of the 13 up-regulated SZ candidates, 8 have been implicated in apoptosis (CD4, CFLAR, HOMER3, MYH9, NDRG1, PIK3C2A, PPM1F and UHMK1).
