Gene × Environment Interactions in Schizophrenia: Evidence from Genetic Mouse Models
The study of gene × environment, as well as epistatic interactions in schizophrenia, has provided important insight into the complex etiopathologic basis of schizophrenia. It has also increased our understanding of the role of susceptibility genes in the disorder and is an important consideration as we seek to translate genetic advances into novel antipsychotic treatment targets. This review su...
متن کاملNeuregulin 1: a prime candidate for research into gene-environment interactions in schizophrenia? Insights from genetic rodent models
Schizophrenia is a multi-factorial disease characterized by a high heritability and environmental risk factors. In recent years, an increasing number of researchers worldwide have started investigating the "two-hit hypothesis" of schizophrenia predicting that genetic and environmental risk factors (GxE) interactively cause the development of the disorder. This work is starting to produce valuab...
متن کاملDISC1 mouse models as a tool to decipher gene-environment interactions in psychiatric disorders
DISC1 was discovered in a Scottish pedigree in which a chromosomal translocation that breaks this gene segregates with psychiatric disorders, mainly depression and schizophrenia. Linkage and association studies in diverse populations support DISC1 as a susceptibility gene to a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. Many Disc1 mouse models have been generated to study its neuronal functions. The...
متن کاملMutant models for genes associated with schizophrenia.
Schizophrenia is a highly complex and heritable psychiatric disorder in which multiple genes and environmental factors interact to cause the schizophrenia phenotype. A new generation of molecular studies has yielded numerous candidate genes with a putative role in risk for schizophrenia, whereas other genes regulate putative pathophysiological mechanisms. Mutant mice having either deletion (kno...
متن کاملChallenges of Analysing Gene-Environment Interactions in Mouse Models of Schizophrenia
The modelling of neuropsychiatric disease using the mouse has provided a wealth of information regarding the relationship between specific genetic lesions and behavioural endophenotypes. However, it is becoming increasingly apparent that synergy between genetic and nongenetic factors is a key feature of these disorders that must also be taken into account. With the inherent limitations of retro...
