G72/G30 genes and schizophrenia: a systematic meta-analysis of association studies.

ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia may result from a neurotransmission hypofunction of glutamatergic and N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) receptors. Linkage disequilibrium mapping has identified several promising and novel positional candidates, including the G72/G30 and d-amino-acid oxidase (DAAO) genes. Since the first positive association report, many subsequent studies have attempted to replicate the association but the results have been mixed. To try to resolve this inconsistency and to elucidate the relationship between the important glutamate-related genes and schizophrenia, the current meta-analysis has combined samples involving 16 polymorphisms covering all published case-control and family-based association studies up to October 2005. The results suggest that there is weak evidence of association between the G72/G30 genes and schizophrenia.

Project description:Abstract Background Schizophrenia is a highly heritable psychiatric disorder. In the past 30 years, thousands of case-control and family-designed association studies have examined candidate genes for schizophrenia. To assist the field in interpreting this large volume of gene-association studies, the online SzGene database was created and included meta analyses for 287 polymorphisms at the time of its final update in 2010. However, since then more than one-thousand new gene-association studies in schizophrenia have been conducted. As such, we have conducted an updated systematic review and meta-analysis of all gene-association studies in schizophrenia published before March 2017. Methods Studies published between January 2010 and March 2017 were identified using a customized querying strategy. Identified gene-association studies were included in the review and meta-analysis if they: 1) were case-control or family-designed studies with polymorphisms detected in schizophrenia or schizoaffective patients, 2) provide sufficient data to perform meta-analysis, and 3) were not genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Random-effects meta-analysis was performed on polymorphisms with four or more independent studies. Results Raw data of 1711 studies included in the SzGene database were integrated with 1368 studies identified from our systematic literature search. Random-effects meta-analysis were applied to 540 polymorphisms with at least four studies and 89 of these polymorphisms were nominally associated with SZ (unadjusted p < 0.05). After bonferroni correction, 12 polymorphisms remained statistically significant, including five associations not reported in the most recent Psychiatric Genomics Consortium schizophrenia GWAS: 1) rs11098403, p = 1.45e-10, odds ratio = 0.65; 2) rs12807809, p = 7.04e-06, odds ratio = 0.91; 3) rs910694 in PDE4B: p = 1.05e-05, odds ratio = 0.77; 4) rs1801133 in MTHFR: p = 2.99e-05, odds ratio = 1.13 and 5) rs1602565: p = 7.73e-05, odds ratio = 1.11. Discussion Our results provide a comprehensive and up-to-date review of candidate gene association studies in schizophrenia. Findings complement results from GWASs in schizophrenia but also expand the current list of candidate loci for schizophrenia.
