Definitions
- This invention relates to methods for genetic diagnosis and assessment of predisposition of a subject to mental or psychiatric disorder, particularly to schizophrenia.
- Schizophrenia is a severe and common psychiatric disorder with a lifetime risk of approximately 1% in the general population worldwide. It is a multi-factorial disorder, and its etiology includes strong genetic factors characterized by a complex inheritance pattern. Although the disease is predominantly hereditary, little is known about genetic factors and their effects on the pathophysiology of the disease. Multiple studies have reported oligodendrocyte and myelin abnormalities, as well as dysregulation of their related genes, in brains of schizophrenia patients (Tkachev et al 2003).
- Myelin basic protein encodes two families of proteins: classic-MBPs and golli-MBPs. While the classic-MBPs are predominantly located in the myelin sheaths of the nervous system, the golli proteins are more widely expressed and are found in both the immune and the nervous systems.
- Oligodendrocytes are responsible for the formation of myelin sheaths in the vertebrate central nervous system (CNS).
- Myelin basic protein (MBP) which is the second most abundant protein in the CNS myelin, is the only structural protein found so far to be essential for it's formation (Boggs 2006).
- the human MBP protein family arises from a genetic unit called genes of the oligodendrocyte lineage (golli), via use of various alternative splicing combinations among its 10 exons.
- the golli proteins are generated from the 5' transcription start site while the classic-MBPs are produced from a downstream transcription start site of the gene.
- the golli products differ from the classic-MBPs due to the presence of 133 additional amino-acids encoded by exons upstream to the classic-MBP transcription start site. While the classic-MBPs are predominantly located in the myelin sheaths of the nervous system, the golli proteins are more widely expressed and are found in both the immune and the nervous systems (Feng 2007). Golli knock-out (KO) mice, in which only the golli products of the MBP gene were ablated, have been reported to exhibit behavioral abnormalities reflective of neuronal abnormalities (Olmstead et al. 2000). Several studies have shown changes in MBP gene expression levels in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder in different brain regions (Chambers and Perrone-Bizzozero 2004, Haroutunian et al. 2007, Tkachev et al. 2003).
- the present invention is based on the finding that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the golli-MBP region of the MBP gene are associated with schizophrenia.
- SNPs include rsl2458282, rs2008323, rs721286 and any combination thereof.
- the SNPs of the present invention further include rs2013963, rs470549, rs7234883, rs9960721, rs685975, and rs7233574.
- these SNPs can serve as a basis for diagnosing a predisposition of a subject to schizophrenia. This can be achieved by determining allelic variants of the golli-MBP region of the MBP gene (golli-MBP), wherein the presence of a risk- haplotype is associated with predisposition to schizophrenia and the presence of a protective-haplotype is associated with non-schizophrenic subjects.

Abstract
La présente invention porte sur un procédé de diagnostic d'une prédisposition d'un sujet à la schizophrénie, par la détection de la présence de polymorphismes de nucléotide unique (SNP) dans la région golli-MBP du gène MBP (protéine basique de la myéline). Ceci peut être obtenu par la détermination de variants alléliques de la région golli-MBP du gène MBP (golli-MBP), où la présence d'un haplotype à risque est associée à une prédisposition à la schizophrénie et la présence d'un haplotype protecteur est associée à des sujets non schizophrènes. L'invention porte en outre sur des sondes d'acide nucléique qui permettent la détection des SNP, ainsi que sur des kits les comprenant. L'invention porte en outre sur l'association de ces SNP avec des changements de morphologie cérébrale.
