Schizophrenia Genetics Comes of Age
نویسندگان
چکیده
The new GWAS from the Schizophrenia Working Group of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (2014) clearly validates a genetic approach to understanding schizophrenia. The challenge now remains to track down the contributing genes and to develop appropriate models to elucidate the biological effects of the contributing variants.

Association study between schizophrenia and the DISC1 gene polymorphism
Abstract Background: The disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) gene, on the chromosome position 1q42, was initially identified at the breakpoint of a balanced translocation, t(1,11)(q42.1q14.3), which segregated with major mental disorders in a large Scottish family. Methods: Our samples included 200 unrelated patients diagnosed with Schizophrenia on the basis of DSM-IV criteria an...
متن کاملCombined effect of polymorphic sites in the DTNBP1 and GRIN1 genes on schizophrenia
Abstract Background: Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder and numerous genes and loci are beleived to be involved in this disease. Recent studies have reported a strong genetic association between DTNBP1 (dystrobrevin-binding protein 1) gene variants and schizophrenia. Methods: In this research, we used a case-control study to establish the possible association between the P1635 ...
متن کاملAdditive effect of MTHFR and GRIN1 genetic polymorphisms on the risk of schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a complex disorder with polygenic inheritance. The MTHFR gene (OMIM: 607093) plays an important role in the folate metabolism. It has been suggested that C677T (rs1801133) and A1298C (rs1801131) genetic polymorphisms in the MTHFR gene lead to the decreased activity of the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase enzyme which may have significant effect on developing schizophrenia. W...
متن کاملAssociation study of single nucleotide polymorphism rs165599 of COMT gene, with schizophrenia and bipolar mood disorder in the south-west of Iran
Linkage studies and epidemiological findings indicate that some possible genes in schizophrenia (SCZ) and bipolar mood disorder (BPD) are common. Numerous evidences for linkage of two diseases on chromosome 22 have been found. These findings suggest that one or more genes in the 22q11.21 region may be involved in the development of both disorders. In the present case-control study, association ...
متن کاملStudy of the association between DRD2 Gene Ser311Cys and GSTM1 Gene polymorphism in Schizophrenia
Introduction: Schizophrenia is a mental disorder affecting 1% of the world's population. Two of genes have been recognized to be involved in development of this disease: DRD2 and GSTM1. Methods: This case-control study included 100 patients suffering from schizophrenia who referred to Yazd Neuropsychiatry Hospital. Also, 100 healthy patients without schizophrenia were selected as the control g...
