The DPYSL2 gene connects mTOR and schizophrenia
We previously reported a schizophrenia-associated polymorphic CT di-nucleotide repeat (DNR) at the 5'-untranslated repeat (UTR) of DPYSL2, which responds to mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) signaling with allelic differences in reporter assays. Now using microarray analysis, we show that the DNR alleles interact differentially with specific proteins, including the mTOR-related protein HuD/E...
متن کاملFunctional Variants in DPYSL2 Sequence Increase Risk of Schizophrenia and Suggest a Link to mTOR Signaling
Numerous linkage and association studies by our group and others have implicated DPYSL2 at 8p21.2 in schizophrenia. Here we explore DPYSL2 for functional variation that underlies these associations. We sequenced all 14 exons of DPYSL2 as well as 27 conserved noncoding regions at the locus in 137 cases and 151 controls. We identified 120 variants, eight of which we genotyped in an additional 729...
متن کاملAssociation 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 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...
