Glutamate AMPA receptor subunit 1 gene (GRIA1) and DSM-IV-TR schizophrenia : a pilot case-control association study in an Italian sample

Copyright 2006 Wiley-Liss, Inc..

Glutamatergic dysfunction is one of the major hypotheses for the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. The GRIA1 gene encodes for one (GluR1) of the four (GluR1-4) ionotropic AMPA receptor subunits. GRIA1 is a good candidate gene for susceptibility to schizophrenia since it maps in 5q33, a region where the presence of susceptibility loci has been suggested by independent genome-wide scans and because its expression has been found to be decreased in the brain of some schizophrenia patients. We present data from a case-control association study on the Italian population with eight polymorphisms spanning the whole GRIA1 gene. Single-locus analysis revealed a significantly different allele distribution in cases and in controls of two SNPs (rs707176, 0.41 vs. 0.31, P = 0.009; rs2963944, 0.41 vs. 0.30, P = 0.007), and one microsatellite (rs10631988, allele 9: 0.40 vs. 0.29, P = 0.004). Haplotype analysis showed an increased frequency of a specific haplotype for these markers (C09CC, 0.39 vs. 0.28, P = 0.009). Therefore our data indicate that GRIA1 may be involved in susceptibility to DSM-IV-TR schizophrenia.
