Abstract
Background
DISC1 has been suggested as a causative gene for psychoses in a large Scottish family. We recently identified FEZ1 as an interacting partner for DISC1. To investigate the role of FEZ1 in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, case–control association analyses were conducted in Japanese cohorts.
Methods
We performed a mutation screen of the FEZ1 gene and detected 15 polymorphisms. Additional data on informative polymorphisms were obtained from public databases. Eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed in 119 bipolar disorder and 360 schizophrenic patients and age- and gender-matched control subjects. All genotypes were determined with the TaqMan assay, and selected samples were confirmed by sequencing.
Results
The two adjacent polymorphisms displayed a nominally significant association with schizophrenia (IVS2+1587G>A, p = .014; 396T
