▶Pharmacogenetic associations of the type-3 metabotropic glutamate receptor (GRM3) gene with working memory and clinical symptom response to antipsychotics in first-episode schizophreniaAssociationN=61Jeffrey R. Bishop et al.(2015)· Psychopharmacology
This pharmacogenetic study in 61 first-episode schizophrenia patients found that GRM3 rs1468412 TT genotype was associated with worsening spatial working memory performance after antipsychotic treatment (p=0.001, Cohen's d=0.75), while GRM3 rs6465084 AA genotype was associated with improved negative symptoms after treatment (p=0.046). No significant associations were found between COMT Val158Met or DRD2/ANKK1 variants and cognitive or symptom changes.
▶Association between type‐three metabotropic glutamate receptor gene (GRM3) variants and symptom presentation in treatment refractory schizophreniaAssociationN=95Jeffrey R. Bishop et al.(2011)· Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental
This candidate gene association study examined 95 treatment-refractory schizophrenia patients genotyped for seven GRM3 markers. Two SNPs (rs1989796 and rs1476455) at the 3' end of the gene were significantly associated with global psychosis symptoms measured by BPRS total scores (rs1476455: CC genotype 55.1±10.4 vs A-carriers 48.3±9.2, F=7.6, p=0.0071; rs1989796: CC genotype 50.1±5.7 vs T-carriers 55.8±10.5, F=7.1, p=0.0091), but not with negative symptoms.
▶Replication study and meta‐analysis of the genetic association of GRM3 gene polymorphisms with schizophrenia in a large Japanese case‐control populationAssociationN=7,712Talal Albalushi et al.(2008)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
Replication study and meta-analysis of GRM3 gene polymorphisms (rs274622, rs1468412, rs2299225) in 1,916 Japanese schizophrenia patients and 1,915 controls found no associations with schizophrenia (allelic P=0.68-0.74). Meta-analysis of five case-control studies including >3,000 patients each also failed to support associations previously reported in Japanese and Chinese populations, with pooled odds ratios of 0.99 (rs1468412, P=0.87) and 1.01 (rs2299225, P=0.67).
▶Evidence for statistical epistasis between catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) and polymorphisms in RGS4, G72 (DAOA), GRM3, and DISC1: influence on risk of schizophreniaAssociationN=1,794Kristin K. Nicodemus et al.(2007)· Human Genetics
Case-control and family-based association study in 1,794 individuals (296 cases, 370 controls, and 296 families in NIMH sibling study; 501 cases and 627 controls in German sample) investigating statistical epistasis between COMT polymorphisms (rs2097603, rs4680/Val158Met, rs165599) and SNPs in candidate schizophrenia genes. Found significant gene-gene interactions: three RGS4 SNPs showed increased schizophrenia risk with COMT (LRT P-values 0.02-0.05), six G72/DAOA SNPs exhibited epistasis with COMT, three GRM3 SNPs showed interaction effects, and DISC1 SNPs interacted with COMT Val158Met. Main effects for most candidate genes were null, highlighting the importance of epistatic models in psychiatric genetics.
About GRM3
L-glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and activates both ionotropic and metabotropic glutamate receptors. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is involved in most aspects of normal brain function and can be perturbed in many neuropathologic conditions. The metabotropic glutamate receptors are a family of G protein-coupled receptors, that have been divided into 3 groups on the basis of sequence homology, putative signal transduction mechanisms, and pharmacologic properties. Group I includes GRM1 and GRM5 and these receptors have been shown to activate phospholipase C. Group II includes GRM2 and GRM3 while Group III includes GRM4, GRM6, GRM7 and GRM8. Group II and III receptors are linked to the inhibition of the cyclic AMP cascade but differ in their agonist selectivities. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
