ABSTRACT

El presente trabajo aporta información respecto del posible rol en la esquizofrenia del gen DISC 1 y la proteína que este gen codifica. Se realiza un recorrido desde el hallazgo de la translocación cromosómica que llevó a su descubrimiento, hasta la perspectiva actual, que lo conceptualiza como un modulador funcional complejo. La mencionada translocación fue originariamente identificada en una familia escocesa, y se observó que cosegregaba con esquizofrenia y otros trastornos mentales. Actualmente, se considera a DISC 1 como una proteína central dentro de una red de interacciones con otras proteínas - lo que en varios trabajos se denomina interactoma -, tales como NDEL 1, LIS 1 y PDE 4B, entre otras.


This paper provides information regarding the possible role in schizophrenia of the DISC 1 gene and the protein it encodes. It is a tour from the discovery of the chromosomal translocation that led to its discovery, up to the current perspective, which is conceptualized as a complex functional modulator. The above translocation was originally identified in a Scottish family, and it was noted that it cosegregated with schizophrenia and other mental discorders. Currently, DISC 1 is considered as a central protein within its network of protein interactions (named as interactome in several papers), such as NDEL 1, LIS 1 and PDE 4B, among others.
