Results from a number of molecular and pharmaco logical studies suggest that the phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate 5-kinase Hot (PIP5K2,4) gene may be involved in the development of schizophrenia. A recent family-based transmission disequilibrium test in the German and Israeli populations found that four single nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1417374, rs10828317, rs746203 and rs8341 in this gene or nearby intergenic regions are significantly associated with schizophrenia. The objective of our study was to investigate whether these four SNPs are also associated with schizophrenia in the Chinese population. Our study found that SNP rs8341 (p=0.0045, Odds Ratio=1.415, 95%CI=1.113-1.799 for the minor allele) and a haplotype (p=0.0039, Odds Ratio= 1.440, 95%Cl= 1.123-1.845) are significantly associated with schizophrenia. Our results confirm that the PIP5K2A gene merits further study as a susceptible gene for schizophrenia. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
