linkage studies and epidemiological findings indicate that some possible genes in schizophrenia (scz) and bipolar mood disorder (bpd) are common. numerous evidences for linkage of two diseases on chromosome 22 have been found. these findings suggest that one or more genes in the 22q11.21 region may be involved in the development of both disorders. in the present case-control study, association ...
background : a single nucleotide variation within atechol-o-methyl transferase (comt) gene may alter the comt enzyme activity level. polymorphism of val158met in the comt gene has been related to malignancy. in this regard, a study was carried out to find a possible association between the comt gene polymorphism in patients with sporadic prostate cancer (pca) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (...
Introduction: Stress inhibits the development of tolerance to morphine analgesia via activating Hypothalamic- Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Modified catecholamine systems have been reported following morphine tolerance development. In the current study we tried to evaluate changes in the gene expression levels for MAO-A, MAO-B, COMT and thyrosine hydroxylase (TyH) enzymes following chronic p...
Introduction COMT expression was reported to be associated with the recurrence of prostate cancer. Furthermore, it has been shown that rs165599 SNP in 3’UTR affects interaction between miR-138 and COMT, while another polymorphism (rs4680) located gene also its expression. Here, we explored combined effect rs4680 . Material methods Kaplan-Meier analysis performed analyze PSA-progression-free sur...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effect of COMT and OPRM1 gene polymorphisms on the preoperative pain sensitivity in tumor patients. METHODS 300 cases of cancer patients undergoing elective surgery were included, and the Val158 Met loci of COMT gene and OPRM1 loci of A118 G gene were genotyped by PCR-RFLP. Pain threshold and pain tolerance threshold were measured using electrical stimulation to inv...
Catecholamine signaling pathways in the peripheral and central nervous systems (PNS, CNS, respectively) utilize catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) as a major regulatory enzyme responsible for deactivation of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E). Accordingly, homeostasis of COMT gene expression is hypothesized to be functionally linked to regulation of autonomic control of nor...
Abstract Aggression is a commonly hostile behavior linked to the hippocampal activity. Childhood trauma (CT) exposure has been associated with altered sensitization of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and volume, which could increase violent aggressive behaviors. Additionally, Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), major dopamine metabolism enzyme, implicated in stress responsivity, incl...
The catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) gene is considered to be a promising schizophrenia susceptibility gene. A common functional polymorphism (Val158Met) in the COMT gene affects dopamine regulation in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Recent studies suggest that this polymorphism contributes to poor prefrontal functions, particularly working memory, in both normal individuals and patients with ...
The gene encoding catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) is a strong candidate for schizophrenia susceptibility, owing to the role of COMT in dopamine metabolism, and the location of the gene within the deleted region in velocardiofacial syndrome, a disorder associated with high rates of schizophrenia. Recently, a highly significant association was reported between schizophrenia and a COMT haploty...
