BACKGROUND: As part of an ongoing, larger study, "Phenomenology and Course of Pediatric Bipolarity", a subset of prepubertal and early adolescent onset bipolar (PEA-BP) probands, on whom trio blood collection was complete, were used to study genetic transmission of the serotonin transporter linked promoter region (HTTLPR) short and long alleles using the transmission disequilibrium test(TDT). The HTTLPR alleles were selected based on postulated serotonergic mechanisms for PEA-BP and on the burgeoning number of HTTLPR allele studies in bipolar (BP) adults. METHODS: There were 46 complete trios of PEA-BP probands and both biological parents. Probands had a mean age of 11.1 +/- 3.0 years and a mean age of onset of PEA-BP of 8.1 +/- 4.0 years. Comprehensive diagnostic assessments included a semi-structured research interview, the WASH-U-KSADS, administered separately to mothers and to children by blind raters. Probands manifested severe impairment (CGAS 43.9 +/- 8.9), elated mood (84.8%), grandiosity (78.3%), rapid cycling (78.3%) and psychosis (63.0%). The HTTLPR length variant was genotyped using fluorescently labeled primers and automated capillary electrophoresis using laser-induced fluorescence. RESULTS: The TDT was not significant (TDT chi square = .020, df = 1, p = .89). CONCLUSIONS: This negative result is consistent with the one negative TDT and two negative linkage studies of HTTLPR alleles in bipolar adults in the literature. 相似文献

Summary. Serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) is one of the most promising candidate genes for psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia
(SCZ) and bipolar disorder (BP). Two functional polymorphisms, 5HTTLPR and 5HTTVNTR, have been a focus for genetic association
analyses; however, no conclusive results have been obtained. We conducted, 1) a mutation search of SLC6A4, 2) LD mapping to
select ‘tagging’ markers (10 SNPs and 5HTTVNTR, while 5HTTLPR was treated as an independent marker because of its allelic
form), and 3) association analysis of these ‘tagging’ markers and independent markers (5HTTLPR and Asn605Lys) with SCZ and
BP in Japanese patients. In this mutation search, a nonsynonymous SNP, Asn605Lys, was detected. No associations of ‘tagging’
markers and independent markers with such conditions were found. These results indicate that SLC6A4 might not play a major
role in SCZ and BP in Japanese patients, a finding that agrees with both the common disease-common variant hypothesis and
common disease-rare variant hypothesis. 相似文献

Aquaporin 4 (AQP4) has an important role in water homeostasis of human brain and a dysfunction of AQP4 could induce pathological conditions in neuronal activity. Several genome scan studies for schizophrenia found a suggestive linkage on 18q, where human AQP4 (18q11.2-12.1) is located nearby. A case-control study was performed which comprised 261 schizophrenia subjects and 278 controls from the Japanese population with four SNP markers. We found strong linkage disequilibrium (LD) and an LD block in the AQP4 gene but found no association between AQP4 and schizophrenia, both single SNP and haplotype analyses. The present study shows that AQP4 is not directly associated with schizophrenia in these Japanese patients. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The authors used magnetic resonance imaging to corroborate the postmortem finding of right frontal hypergyria associated with schizophrenia. METHOD: Twelve affected-unaffected sibling pairs from families multiply affected with schizophrenia were studied. Bilateral measurement of the gyrification index, the ratio of the inner and outer surface contours, was performed on three different slices of the prefrontal region. RESULTS: The mean gyrification index on the right side was significantly higher in siblings with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder than in the unaffected siblings. CONCLUSIONS: In this family cohort study, the postmortem finding of right-sided hypergyria in subjects with schizophrenia was replicated in vivo with magnetic resonance imaging. This observation provides further support for a neurodevelopmental mechanism in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. 相似文献

Dopamine genes are candidate genes for dyslexia in the
light of the well-known comorbidity between dyslexia and ADHD.
Within-family association and linkage disequilibrium were tested
between four genetic markers at DRD4, DRD3, DRD2, and DAT loci,
and dyslexia, in a sample of 130 Italian dyslexic children,
16.9% of whom had comorbid ADHD.No evidence of either
association or linkage disequilibrium was found, neither in the
total sample nor in the comorbid subgroup. Negative results do
not support a common genetic basis between these two disorders
for these markers. 相似文献

Schizophrenia is a common and complex mental disorder. Hereditary factors are important for its etiology, but despite linkage signals reported to several chromosomal regions in different populations, final identification of predisposing genes has remained a challenge. Utilizing a large family-based schizophrenia study sample from Finland, we have identified several linked loci: 1q32.2-q42, 2q, 4q31, 5q and 7q22. In this study, an independent sample of 352 nuclear schizophrenia families (n=1626) allowed replication of linkage on 7q21-32. In a sample of 245 nuclear families (n=1074) originating from the same geographical region as the families revealing the linkage, SNP and microsatellite association analyses of the four regional candidate genes, GRM3, RELN, SEMA3A and VGF, revealed no significant association to the clinical diagnosis of schizophrenia. Instead, quantifiable trait component analyses with neuropsychological endophenotypes available from 186 nuclear families (n=861) of the sample showed significant association to RELN variants for traits related to verbal (P=0.000003) and visual working memory (P=0.002), memory (P=0.002) and executive functioning (P=0.002). Trait-associated allele-positive subjects scored lower in the tests measuring working memory (P=0.0004-0.0000000004), memory (P=0.02-0.0001) and executive functioning (P=0.001). Our findings suggest that allelic variants of RELN contribute to the endophenotypes of schizophrenia. 相似文献

Evidence from epidemiological studies and segregation analysis suggests oligo- or polygenic inheritance in schizophrenia. Since model independent methods are thought to be most appropriate for linkage analysis in complex disorders, we performed a genome-wide autosomal screen in 71 families from Germany and Israel containing 86 independent affected sib-pairs with parental genotype information for statistical analysis strictly identity by descent. We genotyped 305 individuals with 463 markers at an average distance of approximately 10 cM genome-wide, and 1-2 cM in candidate regions (5q, 6p, q, 8p, 10p, 18p, 22q). The highest multipoint LOD scores (ASPEX) were obtained on 6p (D6S260, LOD = 2.0; D6S274, LOD = 2.2, MHC region, LOD = 2.15) and on 10p (D10S1714, LOD = 2.1), followed by 5q (D5S2066, LOD = 1.36), 6q (D6S271, LOD = 1.12; D6S1613, LOD = 1.11), 1q (D1S2675, LOD = 1.04), and 18p (broad disease model: D18S1116, LOD = 1.0). One hundred and thirty-three additional family members were available for some of the families (extended families) and were genotyped for these regions. GENEHUNTER produced a maximum NPL of 3.3 (P = 0.001) for the MHC region and NPL of 3.13 (P = 0.0015) for the region on 10p. There is support for these regions by independent groups. In genome-wide TDT analysis (sTDT, implemented in ASPEX), no marker passed the significance level of 0.0001 given by multiple testing, but nominal significance values for D10S211 (P = 0.03) and for GOLF (P = 0.0032) support further the linkage results on 10p and 18p. Our survey of 22 chromosomes identified candidate regions which should be useful to screen for schizophrenia susceptibility genes. 相似文献

Concordance of deficit and non-deficit subtypes in siblings affected with schizophrenia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Deficit and non-deficit subtypes were examined for their concordance in 83 sibling pairs of 109 schizophrenic patients belonging to 46 multiply affected families. Using a sib-pair method, we have found that the distribution of deficit and non-deficit syndromes in sibling pairs of schizophrenic patients differed significantly from chance expectation. This familial aggregation suggests that the syndrome may be used to define phenotypes for genetic studies. 相似文献

Summary. Recent research has suggested that the DiGeorge syndrome critical region gene 14 (DGCR14) exhibits activity differences of more than 1.5 fold between the haplotypes of the variants in the promoter region. DGCR14 is located at 22q11.21, an acknowledged region for susceptibility to schizophrenia. To test the hypothesis that DGCR14 may be involved in the etiology of the disease, we carried out a family-based association study between the reported functional
markers and schizophrenia in 235 Chinese Han trios. We found significant evidence of preferential transmission of the promoter
variants of DGCR14 across all the trios (Best p-value = 0.00038, Global p-value = 0.0008). The positive results have suggested that DGCR14 is likely to play an important role in the etiology of schizophrenia in the Chinese Han population.

BACKGROUND: Involvement of AKT signaling pathways in schizophrenia has been recently suggested, on the basis of several lines of evidence. In addition to impairment of protein-levels and phosphorylation levels in the pathway, association of DNA sequence variants in the AKT1 gene with schizophrenia has been detected in a family sample. METHODS: We investigated the reported association of DNA sequence variants in the AKT1 gene in a sample of 79 sib-pair families with schizophrenia using the five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the original study and two additional SNPs in the neighborhood of the SNP for which association had been reported. RESULTS: We obtained statistical significance for single markers (p = .002) and multilocus haplotypes (p = .0013) located in the same region as has been reported in the previous study. CONCLUSIONS: The replication of association of variants in the AKT1 gene in a family sample with similar ethnical background as in the original study adds further evidence for involvement of AKT1 in development of schizophrenic disorders. 相似文献

ObjectivesThe risk variants have been shown to vary substantially across populations and a genetic study in a heterogeneous population might shed a new light in the disease mechanism. This preliminary study aims to determine the frequency of the serotonin transporter gene polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) in the three main ethnic groups in Malaysia and its association with bipolar disorder.MethodsThis is a candidate gene association study of randomly selected forty five unrelated bipolar disorder probands and sixty six controls. Diagnosis was evaluated using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (M.I.N.I). The control group consisted of healthy volunteers without personal psychiatric history and family history of mood disorder. Patients' whole blood was collected for genotyping.ResultsThis study revealed that the frequency of the short variant of 5-HTTLPR in healthy control group was highest in Indians (42.9%) followed by Malays (23.5%) and was absent in Chinese. The association between the homozygous ss genotype of the 5-HTTLPR polymorphism with bipolar disorder was not found in the pooled subjects (χ2 = 1.52, d.f. = 1, p = 0.218, OR = 4.67, 95% C.I. = 0.69–7.58) and after stratification into Malays (p = 0.315, OR = 2.03, 95% CI = 0.50–8.17), Indians (p = 0.310; OR = 0.44, 95% CI = 0.21–0.92) and Chinese.ConclusionThe differences in the frequency of the short allele of 5-HTTLPR across the three main ethnic groups in Malaysia were noteworthy. The present study showed no significant association between the homozygous short variant of the 5-HTTLPR and bipolar disorder in the pooled subject and after stratification into the three main ethnic groups in Malaysia. 相似文献

Autism is now widely accepted as a biological disorder which, by and large, starts before birth. It has been shown that serotonin (5-HT) is associated with several psychological processes and hyperserotoninemia is observed in some autistic patients. The results of previous reports about family-based association studies between the serotonin transporter (5-HTT) gene promoter polymorphism and autism are controversial. In this study, an analysis using the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) between the 5-HTT gene promoter polymorphism and autism in 104 trios, all ethnically Japanese, showed no significant linkage disequilibrium (P=0.17). Recently, it has been reported that some haplotypes at the serotonin transporter locus may be associated with the pathogenesis of autism. Therefore, further investigations by haplotype analyses are necessary to confirm the implications of genetic variants of the serotonin transporter in the etiology of autism. 相似文献

The human serotonin transporter gene (5-HTT) demonstrates two polymorphisms with possible functional impact: a 44-bp insertion/deletion polymorphism of the promoter region and a 17-bp variable number of tandem repeat polymorphism (VNTR) in intron 2 (STin2). Such genetic polymorphisms in the serotoninergic system may increase the susceptibility to schizophrenia or may serve as predictors of therapeutic response. We therefore analyzed these polymorphisms as susceptibility factors for schizophrenia by comparison of 684 schizophrenic inpatients with 587 healthy controls. We furthermore compared the therapeutic outcome of schizophrenic patients differentiated by the 5-HTT genotypes. Schizo-affective patients were more frequently homozygous for the 44-bp insertion allele (Odds ratio, OR: 1.6, 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.1--2.3, P < 0.03) than were all other schizophrenic patients and controls. The 17-bp VNTR alleles found were: STin2.7, 9, 10, and 12. Sequence analysis revealed seven different sequence motifs with an invariable arrangement. Patients with schizo-paranoid schizophrenia were more frequently homozygous for the STin2.12 allele than were controls (OR: 1.4, CI: 1.1--1.8, P < 0.007) and all other schizophrenic patients (OR: 1.6, CI: 1.2--2.3). The STin2.9 allele represented a risk factor for the residual subtype of schizophrenia (OR: 6.4, CI: 2.5--16.2, P < 0.001). On the basis of global clinical impressions, as well as measurements with the positive and negative syndrome scale we found no association of the polymorphisms with therapeutic response. In conclusion, the 44-bp polymorphism may be associated with the schizo-affective and the 17-bp VNTR with the residual and schizo-paranoid subtype of schizophrenia, findings which require further biochemical and epidemiological confirmation. 相似文献

The neuregulin-1 gene (NRG1) at chromosome 8p21-22 has been implicated as a schizophrenia susceptibility gene in Icelandic, Scottish, Irish and mixed UK populations. The shared ancestry between these populations led us to investigate the NRG1 polymorphisms and appropriate marker haplotypes for linkage and/or association to schizophrenia in the Irish study of high-density schizophrenia families (ISHDSF). Neither single-point nor multi-point linkage analysis of NRG1 markers gave evidence for linkage independent of our pre-existing findings telomeric on 8p. Analysis of linkage disequilibrium (LD) across the 252 kb interval encompassing the 7 marker core Icelandic/Scottish NRG1 haplotype revealed two separate regions of modest LD, comprising markers SNP8NRG255133, SNP8NRG249130 and SNP8NRG243177 (telomeric) and microsatellites 478B14-428, 420M9-1395, D8S1810 and 420M9-116I12 (centromeric). From single marker analysis by TRANSMIT and FBAT we found no evidence for association with schizophrenia for any marker. Haplotype analysis for the three SNPs in LD region 1 and, separately, the four microsatellites in LD region 2 (analyzed in overlapping 2-marker windows), showed no evidence for overtransmission of specific haplotypes to affected individuals. We therefore conclude that if NRG1 does contain susceptibility alleles for schizophrenia, they impact quite weakly on risk in the ISHDSF. 相似文献

Several investigations have reported associations between serotonin 1A (5-HT1A) receptor and major psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder (BP), making the 5-HT1A receptor gene (HTR1A) a good candidate gene for the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and BP. To evaluate the association between HTR1A and schizophrenia and BP, we conducted a case-control study of Japanese population samples with two single- nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including rs6295 (C-1019G) in HTR1A. In addition, we conducted a meta-analysis of rs6295, which has been examined in other studies. Using one functional single- nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; rs6295) and one tagging SNP (rs878567), we conducted a genetic association analysis of case-control samples (857 schizophrenic patients, 1028 BP patients and 1810 controls) in the Japanese population. Two association studies for schizophrenia and three association studies for BP, including this study, met our criteria for the meta-analysis of rs6295. We found an association between HTR1A and Japanese BP in a haplotype-wise analysis, the significance of which remained after Bonferroni correction. In addition, we detected an association between rs6295 and BP in the meta-analysis (fixed model: P(Z) = 0.000400). However, we did not detect an association between HTR1A and schizophrenia in the allele/genotype-wise, haplotype-wise or meta-analysis. HTR1A may play an important role in the pathophysiology of BP, but not schizophrenia in the Japanese population. In the meta-analysis, rs6295 in HTR1A was associated with BP patients. 相似文献
