| Research Abstract |
Rates of children with doubt of PDD, in medical examination at the time of entering school, were 1. 88%(9/477) in Agano city and 1. 19%(11/919) in Niigata city. As a risk factor of PDD, we identified an advanced father's age in Agano city and a birth asphyxia in Niigata city. In our imaging study, the thalamus volume in an MRI image is significantly smaller in PDD subjects compared with controls ; PDD subjects have shown a decrease in leftward bias of the balance between right and left prefrontal cortex activity during imitation tasks when compared with controls. In our molecular genetic study, we observed a potential association between TPH2 gene and PDD ; we failed to identify a gene polymorphism in micro RNA 137 that significantly associated PDD. In our intermediate phenotype study, the polymorphism of 5-HTTLPR gene influences the neural development of the medial prefrontal cortex among PDD subjects ; The polymorphism of 5-HTR1A gene is related to some divided clinical phenotypes of PDD.
It is difficult to identify At Risk Mental State(ARMS) symptoms by a medical examination at the time of entering school, thus children who showed ARMS symptoms between this research period did not exist. We will promote the epidemiological survey and exploring biological marker based on the established research base for over 30 years.
