Association analysis of CHRNA3 polymorphisms with schizophrenia in a Chinese Han population: A case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a highly heritable, chronic, severe psychiatric disorder associated with significant financial costs to families and societies. In this case-control study, we investigated the associations between seven SNPs in CHRNA3 gene and the risk of SCZ.A total of 1071 (384 cases and 687 controls) unrelated subjects were recruited for our association study. Seven candidate tagging SNPs in CHRNA3 gene (rs3743077, rs1317286, rs938682, rs12914385, rs2869546, rs3743075, rs8040868) selected in HapMap database were genotyped by Sequenom MassARRAY. Finally, association analysis was conducted under various models.According to our results, in genetic model analysis, rs12914385 and rs8040868 are associated with decreased risk of SCZ in female subgroup; rs3743075 is associated with decreased risk of SCZ in subgroup with age?<45; while rs3743077 and rs2869546 are associated with increased risk of SCZ. Haplotype analysis suggested that the 3 variants comprised 1 block, and that the haplotype Ars938682Crs12914385Crs2869546 was significantly correlated with an increased risk of SCZ in the subgroup with age ?45.Our data indicate potential associations between CHRNA3polymorphisms and SCZ susceptibility, and the significant variants identified in our study may be used as genetic biomarkers for SCZ susceptibility in Chinese Han population.

Project description:BACKGROUND: The expression of ?-opioid receptor has important role in cognitive dysfunction in Schizophrenia (SZ). The results of studies about the association of polymorphisms of ?-opioid receptor gene (OPRM1) with SZ were inconsistent. METHODS: We conducted a case-control study to investigate the genetic association between OPRM1 polymorphisms and SZ among the Han chinese population. 264 SZ patients and 264 age-matched control subjects were recruited. Four SNPs of OPRM1 were successfully genotyped by using PCR-RFLP. RESULTS: Of four polymorphisms, rs1799971 and rs2075572 were shown to associate with SZ. Compared with the A allele of rs1799971 and C allele of rs2075572, the G allele of rs1799971 and rs2075572 was associated with an almost 0.46-fold risk (OR=0.46, 95% CI: 0.357-0.59, P<0.01) and 0.7-fold risk (OR=0.707, 95% CI: 0.534-0.937, P=0.015) of the occurrence of SZ,. When subjects were divided by gender, rs1799971 remained significant difference only in males (OR=0.309, 95% CI: 0.218-0.439 for G allele, P<0.01), and rs2075572 only in females (OR=0.399, 95% CI: 0.246-0.648 for G allele, P<0.01). In secondary analysis with subsets of patients, the G allele of rs1799971 (compared to the A allele) was associated with a decreased risk of all patients and male patients with apathy symptoms (OR=0.086, 95% CI: 0.048-0.151, P=0.01; OR=0.083, 95% CI: 0.045-0.153, P<0.01), and the G allele of rs2075572 (compared to the C allele) was associated with a decreased risk of all patients and female patients with positive family history (OR=0.468, 95% CI: 0.309-0.71, P<0.01; OR=0.34, 95% CI: 0.195-0.593, P<0.01). In addition, haplotype analysis revealed that two SNP haplotypes (A-C-C-G and G-C-C-A) were associated with decreased risks of SZ (P<0.01). The other two (G-C-C-G and G-G-C-G) with increased risks of SZ (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: The present study demonstrated for the first time that the OPRM1 polymorphism may be a risk factor for schizophrenia in the Han Chinese. Further studies are needed to give a global view of this polymorphism in pathogenesis of schizophrenia in a large-scale sample, family-based association design or well-defined subgroups of schizophrenia.
