Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Human neuropsychiatric disease modeling using primates is challenging due to their longer life time and advanced technique requirements for creating transgenic primates compared with mice and rats. However, most of the neuropsychiatric diseases, especially psychiatric diseases, seem to be responsible for breakdown of high-level brain cognitive function. It is then using primate disease model takes advantage due to anatomical and functional similarities between human and monkey brain. As a first step for establishment of primate model, extensive genome sequence analysis (exome) have been conducted in marmoset to identify individuals or families carrying rare loss-of-functional (LoF) mutations in neuropsychiatric related genes by means of Next generation sequencing. Using 369 marmoset samples, 19 genes that have rare LoF mutations were identified. Among them, we identified the genes involved in migration of neurons during development, cell-cell signaling, DNA methylation, and so on.
