In this preliminary study, 16 psychotropic-naïve pediatric patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were studied using magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and genotyped for six candidate polymorphisms in two glutamate system genes. A significant association was identified between the rs1019385 polymorphism of the glutamate receptor, ionotropic, N-methyl-d-aspartate 2B (GRIN2B) and decreased anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) glutamatergic concentration (Glx) but not with occipital Glx. These results suggest that GRIN2B may be associated with Glx in the ACC, a region consistently implicated in OCD.
在这项初步研究中,对16名未服用过精神药物的患有强迫症(OCD)的儿科患者进行了磁共振波谱(MRS)研究,并对两个谷氨酸系统基因中的六个候选多态性进行了基因分型。在离子型N-甲基-D-天冬氨酸2B型谷氨酸受体(GRIN2B)的rs1019385多态性与前扣带回皮质(ACC)谷氨酸能浓度(Glx)降低之间发现了显著关联,但与枕叶Glx无关。这些结果表明,GRIN2B可能与ACC中的Glx相关,ACC是一个一直与OCD有关的区域。
