Research Abstract |
In this study, we focused on ABC transporter family, which might be involved in the pathogenesis of schizophrenia and major depressive disorder (MDD). First, we reported a significant association between the rs2230808 (R1587K) of ABCA1 and schizophrenia in men. In the study of ABCB1 encoding the P-glycoprotein gene, we selected the five functional polymorphisms (A-41G [rs2188524], T-129C [rs3213619], C1236T [rs1128503], G2677A/T [rs2032582], and C3435T [rs1045642]). We found that the minor T3435 allele of rs1045642 was significantly increased in MDD patients than in the controls and homozygotes for the T3435 allele was significantly more common in patients than in the controls. These results suggest that the T3435 allele or carrying two copies of this allele confers susceptibility to MDD in the Japanese population.
