Abstract
The immuno-inflammatory origin of schizophrenia in a subset of patients is viewed as a key element of an overarching etiological construct. Despite substantial research, the immune components exerting major effect are yet to be fully clarified. Disrupted T cell networks have consistently been linked to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Amongst the Th cell subsets, the Th17 cells have emerged as a paradigmatic lineage with significant functional implications in a vast number of immune mediated diseases including brain disorders such as schizophrenia. The present study was aimed at examining the functional role of the Th17 pathway in schizophrenia. To address this, genotyping of IL17A (rs2275..
