Genetic association of the HLA DRB1 gene locus on chromosome 6p21.3 with schizophrenia

The American Journal of Psychiatry
P WrightR M Murray

Abstract

The authors investigated the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) DRB1*04 gene in schizophrenic patients because it is positively associated with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that exhibits a strong negative association with schizophrenia. The HLA DQB1*0602 allele was also studied because of previous reports of genetic association between it and schizophrenia. Maternal HLA was investigated because of the reported association between prenatal influenza and schizophrenia and the central role of HLA molecules in the immune response to viral infections. Polymerase chain reactions and sequence-specific oligonucleotide probes were used to genotype 94 unrelated patients with DSM-III-R schizophrenia, 92 mothers of schizophrenic offspring who were not related either to each other or to the 94 patients, and 177 healthy comparison subjects. The frequency of DRB1*04 alleles was significantly lower in both the schizophrenic patients and the unrelated mothers of schizophrenic offspring than in the healthy comparison subjects. No significant differences were found for DQB1*0602. DRB1*04 alleles may partially account for the genetic predisposition to schizophrenia. The association reported here may be explained by genetic linkage or by ...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
