▶Convergent patterns of association between phenylalanine hydroxylase variants and schizophrenia in four independent samplesAssociationN=5,414Talkowski ME et al.(2009)· American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics
Study of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) variants in four independent samples (n=5,414; 260 trios, 230 cases, 474 controls from two US Caucasian cohorts; 659 Bulgarian trios; 464 African-American families with 401 controls) investigating associations with schizophrenia. Key finding: rs1522305 common G allele showed replicated association with schizophrenia across samples (US case-control p=0.006, OR=1.64; Bulgarian p=0.015; combined p=0.003). L321L synonym was associated with increased risk in African-Americans (p=0.047, OR=1.46).
▶Examination of association to autism of common genetic variationin genes related to dopamineAssociationN=403Anderson BM et al.(2008)· Autism Research
This association study examined 28 SNPs across 14 dopamine pathway candidate genes in 403 families with autism to test the hypothesis that common genetic variation in dopamine metabolism contributes to autism susceptibility. While rs2239535 (YWHAB, chromosome 20) showed the strongest nominally significant association (p=0.008), this did not remain significant after correction for multiple comparisons, and no significant gene-gene interactions were detected using Multifactor Dimensionality Reduction analysis.
About PAH
This gene encodes a member of the biopterin-dependent aromatic amino acid hydroxylase protein family. The encoded phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme hydroxylates phenylalanine to tyrosine and is the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme activity results in the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2017]
