Previous studies have suggested the involvement of Nogo-A/RTN4 in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. We investigated an association between the promoter haplotypes of RTN4 comprised of rs1348528-rs1822618-rs2241958 and schizophrenia. A significant association between the rare TGA haplotype and schizophrenia was shown (p < 0.0001). Additionally, the promoter activity was profoundly decreased by the TGA haplotype. These results suggested that the TGA haplotype of RTN4 may contribute to the susceptibility of schizophrenia.
先前的研究表明 Nogo-A/RTN4 参与了精神分裂症的发病机制。我们研究了由 rs1348528-rs1822618-rs2241958 组成的 RTN4 启动子单倍型与精神分裂症之间的关联。罕见的 TGA 单倍型与精神分裂症之间存在显著关联(p<0.0001)。此外,TGA 单倍型显著降低了启动子活性。这些结果表明,RTN4 的 TGA 单倍型可能导致精神分裂症的易感性。
