▶A Comprehensive Family-Based Replication Study of Schizophrenia GenesAssociationN=28,251Karolina A. Aberg et al.(2013)· JAMA Psychiatry
This comprehensive family-based replication study tested 8,107 SNPs in 6,298 individuals (3,286 schizophrenia cases) from 1,811 nuclear families, following a meta-analysis of 18 schizophrenia GWAS studies. The study replicated major findings in TCF4 (P=2.53×10⁻¹⁰) and NOTCH4 (P=3.16×10⁻⁷), and identified novel susceptibility loci including POM121L2 (P=3.51×10⁻⁷), AS3MT (P=9.01×10⁻⁷), CNNM2 (P=6.07×10⁻⁷), and NT5C2 (P=4.09×10⁻⁷). Pathway analyses revealed significant enrichment in neuronal function (axonal guidance, neuronal systems, L1 cell adhesion) and immune system pathways (antigen processing, T-cell adhesion molecules).
About BAG6
This gene was first characterized as part of a cluster of genes located within the human major histocompatibility complex class III region. This gene encodes a nuclear protein that is cleaved by caspase 3 and is implicated in the control of apoptosis. In addition, the protein forms a complex with E1A binding protein p300 and is required for the acetylation of p53 in response to DNA damage. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
