The DISC1 protein is widely expressed in normal tissues. It is involved in neurite outgrowth and
cortical development through its interaction with a variety of proteins including lissencephaly-1 (LIS1), NudeE-like (NUDEL) and phosphodiesterase 4B. In certain cases of schizophrenia the DISC1 gene has been found to be disrupted by a t(1;11) (q42.1;q14.3) translocation, and studies suggest that DISC1 could be a candidate susceptibility gene for this condition.
