Association between polymorphisms in the GRIN1 gene 5' regulatory region and schizophrenia in a northern Han Chinese population and haplotype effects on protein expression in vitro.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Schizophrenia is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder with a complex genetic and environmental etiology. Abnormal glutamate ionotropic N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDA) type subunit 1 (NR1) may be a potential cause of schizophrenia. METHODS:We conducted a case-control study to investigate the association between the GRIN1 gene, which encodes the NR1 subunit, and the risk of schizophrenia in a northern Chinese Han population using Sanger DNA sequencing. The dual luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the influence of two different haplotypes on GRIN1 gene expression. RESULTS:Seven SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms), including rs112421622 (-?2019?T/C), rs138961287 (-?1962--1961insT), rs117783907 (-1945G/T), rs181682830 (-1934G/A), rs7032504 (-1742C/T), rs144123109 (-1140G/A), and rs11146020 (-855G/C) were detected in the study population. Rs117783907 (-1945G/T) was associated with the occurrence of schizophrenia as a protective factor. The genotype frequencies of rs138961287 (-?1962--1961insT) and rs11146020 (-855G/C) were statistically different between cases and controls (p?

Project description:BackgroundEpidemiological studies have shown that genetic factors are among the causes of schizophrenia. Galanin receptor 1 is an inhibitory receptor of galanin that is widely distributed in the central nervous system. This study mainly explored the relationship between polymorphisms of the 5' region of the GALR1 gene and schizophrenia in the northern Chinese Han population.MethodsA 1545 bp fragment of the 5' regulatory region of the GALR1 gene was amplified and sequenced in 289 schizophrenia patients and 347 healthy controls.ResultsAmong the haplotypes composed of the 16 detected SNPs, the haplotype H3 was identified as conferring a risk of schizophrenia (p=0.011, OR=1.430, 95% CI=1.084-1.886). In addition, the haplotypes H4 and H7 were both protective against schizophrenia (p=0.024, OR=0.526, 95% CI=0.298-0.927; p=0.037, OR=0.197, 95% CI=0.044-0.885, respectively). In the subgroup analysis by sex, it was found that seven SNP alleles (rs72978691, rs11662010, rs11151014, rs11151015, rs13306374, rs5373, rs13306375) conferred a risk of schizophrenia in females (p<0.05), while allele G of rs7242919 (p=0.007) was protective against schizophrenia in females. Moreover, the rs72978691 AA+AC genotype (p=0.006, OR=1.874, 95% CI=1.196-2.937, power=0.780), rs7242919 CC+CG genotype (p=0.002, OR=2.027, 95% CI=1.292-3.180, power=0.861), rs11151014 GG+GT genotype (p=0.008, OR=1.834, 95% CI=1.168-2.879, power=0.735), rs11151015 GG+AG genotype (p=0.002, OR=2.013, 95% CI =1.291-3.137, power=0.843), rs13306374 CC+AC genotype (p=0.006, OR=1.881, 95% CI=1.198-2.953, power=0.788), and rs13306375 GG+AG genotype (p=0.006, OR=1.868, 95% CI=1.194-2.921, power=0.770) increased the risk of schizophrenia in females. The haplotype FH2 consisting of rs72978691, rs11662010, rs7242919, rs11151014, rs11151015, rs13306374, rs5373, and rs13306375 may also be associated with the risk of schizophrenia in females (p=0.024).ConclusionThis study identified an association between polymorphisms in the 5' region of the GALR1 gene and schizophrenia, especially in females.

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.
