rs4715986 in DTNBP1 is associatedwith paranoid schizophrenia in Chinese Han population / 基础医学与临床

Objective To investigate association of the DTNBP1 gene polymorphisms with paranoid schizophrenia in Chinese Han populations by a two-stage study.Methods In the discovery stage, 11 SNPs in DTNBP1 were tested in 532 patients with paranoid schizophrenia and 488 controls by Sanger sequencing.In the validation sample (1 111 cases and 1 435 controls), Taqman genotyping method was used to genotype SNP rs4715986.Results In the discovery stage, SNP rs4715986 showed disease association (χ2=11.02, P<0.01) with paranoid schizophrenia for analysis of 532 patients and 488 controls;such an association survived a correction with 10 000 permutations (corrected P<0.05).In the validation sample (1 111 cases and 1 435 controls), we confirmed the genotypic association (χ2=9.292, P=0.01) of rs4715986 with paranoid schizophrenia.Conclusions The present results suggest that the DTNBP1 gene may be mainly involved in the development of paranoid schizophrenia in the Chinese Han population.

Correlation of cognitive function and dystrobrevin binding protein 1 gene polymorphisms in patients with recurrent depressive disorder / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

Objective To investigate the relationship between dystrobrevin binding protein 1 (DTNBP1) gene polymorphisms and cognitive function in patients with recurrent depressive disorder.Methods 49 recurrent depressive disorder patients and 60 age-,gender-and education-matched normal controls were recruited in this case-control study.Clinical symptoms were evaluated by HAMD and Wechsler adult memory scale,Wisconsin card sorting test,trail making test(TMT),verbal fluency test (VFT),S troop colorword test were used to evaluate cognitive function.The gene polymorphisms of DTNBP1 were determined by PCR-RFLP technique.SPSS 16.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results The distributions of genotypes in the patients and controls were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium(P＞0.05).The time in trail making A task (73.4±30.5 vs 56.2± 11.7),the digital Span (9.6±2.3 vs 8.1±3.0),visual reproduction (9.6±2.3 vs 7.4±3.1),paired association learning (9.7±2.2 vs 6.1±4.2) and Spilling forward (9.1 ±2.4 vs 7.2±2.9) in Wechsler adult memory scale,the categories completed (1.8 ± 1.6 vs 2.5 ± 1.8),total trials (47.6± 1.1 vs 47.3± 0.7) and error numbers (28.5±5.3 vs 24.1±9.3) in WCST performs,and the word meaning interference score (18.4±9.0 vs 25.3±9.5) in Stroop color-word test were monitored.Patients with the genotype of rs9476867 G/G got higher interference number than patients with DTNBP1 rs9476867 C/G and C/C,and patients with the genotype of rs16876738 A/G spent more time to finish TMT-A than patients with rs16876738 G/G and A/A.G/G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of rs9476867 and A/G SNP of rs16876738 affected attention ability.Conclusion DTNBP 1 gene polymorphisms are correlated with cognitive function in recurrent depressive disorder patients.

Association Analysis of Polymorphisms on Dystrobrevin Binding Protein 1 (DTNBP1) Gene with Schizophrenia in the Korean Population

OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to investigate the association of schizophrenia and P1320, P1325, P1635, P1655, P1763 and SNP A polymorphisms on dystrobrevin binding protein 1(DTNBP1) gene in Korean patients. METHODS: We analyzed P1320, P1325, P1635, P1655, P1763 and SNP A polymorphisms on DTNBP1 gene from their DNAs extracted from their blood in 388 Korean schizophrenic patients (male 198, female 190) and 372 control subjects(male 247, female 125). We compared the differences of genotype and allele distributions of the six polymorphisms on DTNBP1 gene between the Korean schizophrenic patient group and the normal control group. RESULTS: There were no statistically significant differences of genotype and allele distributions of the P1320, P1325, P1635, P1655, P1763 and SNP A polymorphisms on DTNBP1 gene between the schizophrenic patient group and the normal control group. CONCLUSION: The results of this study suggest that P1320, P1325, P1635, P1655, P1763 and SNP A polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene do not have influence on the risk of the schizophnenic in the Korean population.

Association Analysis between P1635 and P1655 Polymorphisms on Dystrobrevin Binding Protein 1(DTNBP1) Gene and Smooth Pursuit Eye Movement(SPEM) Abnormality in Korean Schizophrenia Patients / 대한정신약물학회지

OBJECTIVE: We investigated the association of P1635 and P1655 polymorphisms on dystrobrevin binding protein 1 (DTNBP1) gene with smooth pursuit eye movement (SPEM) abnormality in Korean schizophrenia patients. METHODS: We measured SPEM function in 216 Korean schizophrenia patients (male 116, female 100) and divided them into two groups, one is a good SPEM function group and the other is a poor SPEM function group. We then analyzed P1635 polymorphism and P1655 polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene from their DNAs extracted from their blood. We compared the differences of genotype and allele distributions of the two polymorphisms on DTNBP1 gene between the two groups. RESULTS: The Ln S/N ratio (mean+/-sd) of the good SPEM function group was 4.39+/-0.33 and the ratio of poor SPEM function group was 3.18+/-0.71. There were no statistically significant differences of age and male/female ratio between the two groups. There were no significant differences of genotype or allele distributions of the P1635 polymorphism and P1655 polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene between the two schizophrenia groups divided by SPEM function. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that P1635 polymorphism and P1655 polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene might not be related to SPEM function abnormality in schizophrenia.

Relationship between SNP A and P1763 Polymorphisms on Dystrobrevin Binding Protein 1(DTNBP1) Gene and Smooth Pursuit Eye Movement(SPEM) Abnormality in Korean Schizophrenic Patients

OBJECTIVES: We investigated the association of SNP A and P1763 polymorphisms on dystrobrevin binding protein 1(DTNBP1) gene with smooth pursuit eye movement(SPEM) abnormality in Korean schizophrenic patients. METHODS: We measured SPEM function in 217 Korean schizophrenics(male 116, female 101) and divided them into two groups, one is a good SPEM function group and the other is a poor SPEM function group. We then analyzed SNP A polymorphism and P1763 polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene from their DNAs extracted from their blood. We compared the differences of genotype and allele distributions of the two polymorphisms on DTNBP1 gene between the two groups. RESULTS: The Ln S/N ratio(mean+/-SD) of the good SPEM function group was 4.39+/-0.33 and the ratio of poor SPEM function group was 3.17+/-0.71. There were no statistically significant differences of age and male/female ratio between the two groups. There were no significant differences of genotype or allele distributions of the SNP A polymorphism and P1763 polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene between the two schizophrenic groups divided by SPEM function. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that SNP A polymorphism and P1763 polymorphism on DTNBP1 gene might not be related to SPEM function abnormality in schizophrenia.
