Arinami et al. (1994) reported an association between the Ser311/Cys311 variant of the DRD2 gene and schizophrenia in a Japanese population. We did not find statistically significant differences in the distribution of the allele frequencies between schizophrenics (103) and controls (97) in a case-control sample (chi 2 = 2.07; p = 0.150) or in 64 nuclear families with the haplotype relative risk (HRR) design (chi 2 = 0.13; p = 0.718). Our results seem to exclude a main involvement of this variant of the dopamine D2 receptor gene in the etiopathogenesis of schizophrenia.
有波等(1994年)报告称,在日本人群中,DRD2基因的Ser311/Cys311变体与精神分裂症之间存在关联。在一个病例对照样本中(χ² = 2.07;p = 0.150),我们未发现精神分裂症患者(103例)和对照组(97例)之间等位基因频率分布存在统计学上的显著差异;在采用单倍型相对风险(HRR)设计的64个核心家庭中(χ² = 0.13;p = 0.718)也是如此。我们的结果似乎排除了多巴胺D2受体基因的这一变体在精神分裂症病因学中起主要作用的可能性。
