Published Date: May 22, 2025

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS: The multifactorial pathogenesis of schizophrenia (SZ) hinders the diagnosis and treatment of this disorder. Niacin skin flushing response (NSFR) has been identified as an endophenotype for SZ, but the proportion of blunted NSFR (BNR) varied between studies. This study aims to clarify the relationship between NSFR and SZ through a meta-analysis.
