TY - THES A1 - Gawlik, Micha T1 - Assoziations- und Haplotypuntersuchung der Kandidatengene DAOA und FKBP5 bei Patienten mit manisch-depressiver Erkrankung, mit monopolarer Depression oder zykloider Psychose T1 - Association and haplotype examination of two susceptibility genes DAOA and FKBP5 for the manic-depression, monopolar depression and cycloid psychosis N2 - Im Rahmen dieser Studie sollte die Frage beantwortet werden, ob sich einzelne SNPs oder Haplotypen als biologische Marker affektiver Psychosen identifizieren lassen. Hierfür sollten Assoziations- und Haplotypuntersuchung an zwei Kandidatengenen, FKBP5 und G72 DAOA/G30, mit unterschiedlichen pathophysiologischen Theorien, durchgeführt werden. Das auf der Kortisolhypothese basierende Kandidatengen FKBP5 liegt auf dem Chromosom 6 p21 und stellt ein wichtiges Regulatorprotein für den Glukokortikoid- Rezeptor (GR) dar. In FKBP5 wurden drei SNPs mit einem schnelleren Ansprechen auf Antidepressiva assoziiert gefunden: rs4713916 in der vermuteten Promoterregion, rs1360780 im 2. Intron und rs3800373 im nicht translatiertem 3Ende (Binder et al. 2004). Die vorbeschriebenen Polymorphismen sollten in einem unabhängigen Kollektiv auf Assoziation mit affektiven Psychosen untersucht werden, um eine Rolle von FKBP5 bei der Ätiopathogenese affektiver Psychosen zu überprüfen oder einen Einfluss auf verschiedene Variable des Krankheitsverlaufs zu bestätigen. In unserer Studie mit 248 Fällen und 188 Kontrollen unterschieden sich die untersuchten SNPs in FKBP5, rs4713916, rs1360780 und rs3800373 in ihrer Verteilung nicht bei Erkrankten und Gesunden. Den einzigen signifikanten Hinweis für eine Assoziation mit affektiven Erkrankungen bot der Risikophaplotyp G-C-G mit einer Odds Ratio von 6,4, der jedoch nur bei 2,1% der Fälle vorkam. Auch zeigte sich kein Zusammenhang mit den untersuchten klinischen Parametern. Die Untersuchungsergebnisse können somit einen wesentlichen Beitrag von FKBP5 für die depressive Erkrankung nicht belegen. Es erscheint daher fraglich, ob Polymorphismen in FKBP5 als biologische Marker affektiver Psychosen dienen können. Das zweite Kandidatengen G72 DAOA /G30 war durch positive Kopplungsbefunde des chromosomalen Locus für die bipolare Störung und schizophrenen Psychosen identifiziert worden. Neuere Befunde lassen einen Einfluss auf das glutamaterge Transmittersystem vermuten (Chumakov et al. 2002). Das Genprodukt von G72, D-Amino-Oxidase (DAOA) fördert die Oxidation von D-Serine durch D-Amino-Oxidase (DAO), was zum Beinamen D-Amino-Oxidase-Aktivator (DAOA) führte. Da D-Serin ein wichtiger Aktivator des NMDA Glutamatrezeptors ist, könnte G72/DAOA einen wichtigen Faktor für die glutamatergen Signaltransduktion darstellen. Mehrfach wurde eine Assoziation von 69 Markern im Locus G72/G30 mit der bipolaren Depression aber auch schizophrenen Psychosen beschrieben (Detera-Wadleigh et al. 2006). In der Studie sollte eine mögliche Assoziation von SNPs in G72/G30 mit der Erkrankung überprüft und die vorbeschriebenen LD-Blöcke am 5Ende von G72 näher untersucht werden. Dafür wurden sieben SNPs, die sich über den chromosomalen Locus von G72/G30 verteilen, bei 429 Fällen mit affektiven und zykloiden Psychosen und 188 Kontrollen, untersucht. Durch die LD-Analyse der untersuchten SNPs konnte die Ausdehnung der vorbeschriebenen LD-Blöcke in G72 genauer definiert und rs9558575 dem 1. Block zugeordnet werden, der somit bis zum 5-Ende vom G72 reicht. Der SNP rs9558575 am 5- Ende vom G72 wurde erstmalig in dieser Studie untersucht. Trotz adäquater Power (80% bei α = 0,05) erreichte kein Einzelmarker Signifikanzniveau (Tabelle 17). Dennoch zeigten sich Hinweise für eine Beteiligung von G72/G30 am Erkrankungsrisiko, insbesondere für den SNP rs2391191 bei den zykloiden Psychosen. Darüber hinaus scheint der Risikohaplotyp rs2391191A / rs3916966C sowohl für die zykloiden Psychosen (p = 0,002), als auch für die Gesamtgruppe der Affektpsychosen (p = 0,017) ein geeigneter biologischer Marker zu sein. Die in der vorliegenden Studie gefundene Assoziation mit zykloiden Psychosen könnte dabei helfen, die Vorbefunde für G72/G30 als Risikogen sowohl für die bipolare Depression als auch schizophrenen Psychosen zu erklären, da die zykloiden Psychosen nach IDC10 beiden Krankheitsentitäten zugerechnet werden können. N2 - In this dissertation two susceptibility genes, FKPP5 and G72/DAOA for the manic depression and monopolar depression were examined by genotyping several single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In summary, our data do not support a significant genetic contribution of FKBP5 or G72/DAOA to the pathogenesis of affective psychosis in the analysed markers; they may play a role as a disease modificatory factors. FKBP5: A dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis has been proposed as an important pathogenic factor in depression. Genetic variants of FKBP5, a protein of the HPA system modulating the glucocorticoid receptor, have been reported to be genetically associated with improved response to medical treatment and an increase of depressive episodes. We examined three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in FKBP5, rs4713916 in the proposed promoter region, rs1360780 in the second intron and rs3800373 in the 3’-untranslated region (3’-UTR), in a case-control study of Caucasian origin (affective psychosis: n= 248; controls: n= 188) for genetic association and association with disease related traits. Allele and genotype frequencies of rs4713916, rs1360780 and rs3800373 were not significantly different between cases and controls. Odds ratios were not increased between cases and controls, except the rare haplotype G-C-G (OR 6.81), representing 2.1% of cases and 0.3% of controls. The frequency of rs4713916AG in patients deviated from expected Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the genotype AA at rs4713916 in monopolar depression (P= 0.011), and the two-locus haplotype rs1360780T - rs3800373T in the total sample (overall P= 0.045) were associated with short duration of disease. In summary, our data do not support a significant genetic contribution of FKBP5 to affective psychosis in the analysed markers, and the findings are inconclusive regarding putative risk haplotypes or association with disease-related traits. G72/DAOA: The chromosomal region 13q32-33 has been found to be linked with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in several studies. After the description of two genes, G72 and G30, in this region by Chumakov et al 2002, association studies revealed evidence for an association of SNPs at G72/G30 with bipolar disorder, but the results remained heterogeneous with differing risk alleles and missing replication. We examined seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) around G7/G30: rs3916966, rs1935058, rs2391191, rs1935062, rs947267, rs3918342, rs9558575, in a case-control study of Caucasian origin (affective psychosis: n= 248; controls: n= 188) for genetic association. Allele and genotype frequencies were not significantly different between cases and controls, no single marker reached statistical significance. We found different specific marker combinations associated with manic depression rs1935062, rs2391191, rs3916966 (overall P=0.022 and monopolar affective disorder, rs1935058, rs947267, rs2391191, rs3916966, rs9558575 (overall P= 0.036), but no well-defined risk haplotype. Our data revealed no clear-cut association with polymorphisms and haplotypes in G72 with disease and did not support a significant genetic contribution of G72 to the pathogenesis of affective psychosis.

Methods: In a case-control sample of German descent (affective psychosis: n = 248; controls: n = 188) we examined seven single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) around DAOA/G30 (rs3916966, rs1935058, rs2391191, rs1935062, rs947267, rs3918342, and rs9558575) for genetic association in a polydiagnostic approach (ICD 10; Leonhard’s classification). Results: No single marker showed evidence of overall association with affective disorder neither in ICD10 nor Leonhard’s classification. Haplotype analysis revealed no association with recurrent unipolar depression or bipolar disorder according to ICD10, within Leonhard’s classification manic-depression was associated with a 3-locus haplotype (rs2391191, rs1935062, and rs3916966; P = 0.022) and monopolar depression with a 5-locus combination at the DAOA/G30 core region (P = 0.036). Conclusion: Our data revealed potential evidence for partially overlapping risk haplotypes at the DAOA/G30 locus in Leonhard’s affective psychoses, but do not support a common genetic contribution of the DAOA/G30 gene complex to the pathogenesis of affective disorders.

N2 - Background: Genome wide association studies reported two single nucleotide polymorphisms in ANK3 (rs9804190 and rs10994336) as independent genetic risk factors for bipolar disorder. Another SNP in ANK3 (rs10761482) was associated with schizophrenia in a large European sample. Within the debate on common susceptibility genes for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, we tried to investigate common findings by analyzing association of ANK3 with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and unipolar depression. Methods: We genotyped three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in ANK3 (rs9804190, rs10994336, and rs10761482) in a case-control sample of German descent including 920 patients with schizophrenia, 400 with bipolar affective disorder, 220 patients with unipolar depression according to ICD 10 and 480 healthy controls. Sample was further differentiated according to Leonhard’s classification featuring disease entities with specific combination of bipolar and psychotic syndromes. Results: We found no association of rs9804190 and rs10994336 with bipolar disorder, unipolar depression or schizophrenia. In contrast to previous findings rs10761482 was associated with bipolar disorder (p = 0.015) but not with schizophrenia or unipolar depression. We observed no association with disease entities according to Leonhard’s classification. Conclusion: Our results support a specific genetic contribution of ANK3 to bipolar disorder though we failed to replicate findings for schizophrenia. We cannot confirm ANK3 as a common risk factor for different diseases.
