项目摘要

Schizophrenia (SZ) and bipolar disorder (BP) are the most chronic and debilitating of psychiatric syndromes, each with lifetime prevalence of about 1%. Existing pharmacologic treatments are partially effective in reducing symptom severity but do not ameliorate the underlying disease processes, cognitive deficits, or functional disabilities associated with these syndromes. Given that both SZ and BP are substantially heritable, gene discovery represents our best hope for identifying new molecular targets for interventions. However, the highly polygenic and heterogeneous nature of these syndromes substantially reduces the effectiveness of traditional genetic linkage and association designs. In addition, recent evidence suggests that some genetic overlaps between these conditions. Our approach is based on the premise that SZ and BP are best conceptualized as sets of quantitative traits that reflect intermediate phenotypes between predisposing genes and syndromal expression (CEendophenotypes1). Here we will screen 300,000 SNP markers - distributed so as to enable the detection of linkage disequilibrium in most parts of the genome - for association with memory and sociability phenotypes previously associated with risk for SZ and BP in a sample of 2,000 subjects from the greater Los Angeles area (LA2K sample). Followup studies of patients with SZ and BP will be performed to specify the impact of the genes identified in the LA2K sample on neuroanatomical and neurophysiological indicators of the pathophysiology of SZ and BP. Because nearly half of the genome is expressed in the brain, and considering the central importance of memory and sociability to adaptive behavioral function, there are likely dozens to hundreds of genes of small to moderate effect influencing these phenotypes in the general population. We hypothesize that many of these genes contribute to susceptibility to SZ and BP through their impacts on the brain systems mediating memory systems and social function and that most of these have been undetected by previous studies using syndromal status as the phenotypic target. In parallel with this whole genome strategy, and to illustrate our translational approach, we will use rodent transgenic models of two promising candidate genes DISC1 and Dysbindin to specify the cellular mechanisms underlying the associations of these genes with memory, sociabiliy, and susceptibility to SZ and BP.

精神分裂症（SZ）和躁郁症（BP）是精神综合症的最长期和衰弱的，每个人的终身患病率约为1％。现有的药理治疗部分有效减轻症状严重程度，但不能改善潜在的疾病过程，认知缺陷或与这些综合征相关的功能障碍。鉴于SZ和BP基本上都是可遗传的，基因发现是我们确定干预措施的新分子靶标的我们的最大希望。但是，这些综合征的高度多基因和异质性大大降低了传统遗传联系和关联设计的有效性。此外，最近的证据表明这些条件之间的一些遗传重叠。我们的方法基于SZ和最好将BP概念化为反映中间表型的定量性状集诱发基因和综合征表达（Ceendophenotypes1）。在这里，我们将筛选300,000 SNP 标记 - 分布，以便能够在基因组的大多数地方检测连锁不平衡 - 用于与以前与SZ和BP风险相关的记忆和社交表型的关联来自大洛杉矶地区的2,000名受试者（LA2K样本）的样本。患者的后续研究将使用SZ和BP进行指定LA2K样品中鉴定的基因的影响 SZ和BP的病理生理学的神经解剖学和神经生理学指标。因为几乎一半的基因组在大脑中表达，并考虑了记忆和适应性行为功能的社交能力，可能有数十个至中等的基因影响普通人群中这些表型的影响。我们假设许多这些基因通过其对SZ和BP的易感性而对它们的敏感性造成了影响大脑系统介导记忆系统和社会功能，其中大多数是以前的研究未发现综合症状态作为表型靶标。与整个基因组策略，为了说明我们的翻译方法，我们将使用两个的啮齿动物转基因模型有希望的候选基因DISC1和DYSBINDIN指定依据的细胞机制这些基因的关联与记忆，社会影响以及对SZ和BP的敏感性。
