A susceptibility gene for schizophrenia, dysbindin, is a component of BLOC-1, which interacts with the adaptor protein (AP)-3 complex. As a direct interaction between dysbindin and AP-3 complex was reported, we examined a possible association between 16 SNPs in the AP3 complex genes and schizophrenia using 432 cases and 656 controls. Nominal association between rs6688 in the AP3M1 gene and schizophrenia (chi(2)=6.33, P=0.012, odds ratio=0.80) was no longer positive after correction for multiple testing (corrected P=0.192). The present results suggest that AP3 complex genes might not play a major role in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia in this population.
精神分裂症的一个易感基因——发动蛋白,是BLOC-1的一个组成部分,BLOC-1与衔接蛋白(AP)-3复合物相互作用。由于有报道称发动蛋白与AP-3复合物之间存在直接相互作用,我们使用432例患者和656名对照,研究了AP3复合物基因中的16个单核苷酸多态性(SNP)与精神分裂症之间可能存在的关联。AP3M1基因中的rs6688与精神分裂症之间的名义关联(卡方=6.33,P=0.012,优势比=0.80)在经过多重检验校正后不再显著(校正后P=0.192)。目前的结果表明,在该人群中,AP3复合物基因可能在精神分裂症的发病机制中不发挥主要作用。
