Genetic studies of familial schizophrenia in Finland have observed significant associations with a group of biologically related genes, DISC1, NDE1, NDEL1, PDE4B and PDE4D, the 'DISC1 network'. Here, we use gene expression and psychoactive medication use data to study their biological consequences and potential treatment implications. Gene expression levels were determined in 64 individuals fro...
Disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1), identified by positional cloning of a balanced translocation (1;11) with the breakpoint in intron 8 of a large Scottish pedigree, is associated with a range of neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. To model this mutation in mice, we have generated Disc1(tr) transgenic mice expressing 2 copies of truncated Disc1 encoding the first 8 exons using...
The major psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia (SZ) and major depressive disorder (MDD) are thought to be multifactorial diseases related to both genetic and environmental factors. However, the genes responsible and the molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of SZ and MDD remain unclear. We previously reported that abnormalities of disrupted-in-Schizophrenia-1 (DISC1) and DISC1...
In their editorial on chromosomal abnormalities and psychosis Muir et al (2006) concluded that DISC1 ‘is an important modulator of risk for schizophrenia and severe affective disorder in people without cytogenetic abnormalities and may also influence cognition and brain structure in the general population’. They base their conclusions on work that originated in the finding of a rearrangement be...
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common heritable psychiatric disorder with a worldwide prevalence of 5%. The etiology of ADHD is still incompletely understood, but several studies, consistently indicate the strong role of genetic factors on this disorder. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of three SNPs rs11122319, rs11122330 and rs667...
This month’s column is an example of the perils and the promises of using an animal model to ferret out one of psychiatry’s most intractable problems: the genetic substrates mediating schizophrenia and depression. The subject concerns what some describe as the “schizophrenic mouse,” an animal carrying a disrupted gene called “disrupted in schizophrenia 1” (DISC1), and its utility in illuminatin...
Research into the mechanisms of human adaptation to the hypoxic environment of high altitude is of great interest to the fields of human physiology and clinical medicine. Recently, the gene EGLN1, from the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway, was identified as being involved in the hypoxic adaptation of highland Andeans and Tibetans. Both highland Andeans and Tibetans have adapted to an extr...
