Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between three polymorphic sites of ZNF804A gene and cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.Methods Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was used to determine the genotypes and allele frequencies of the three sites (rs1344706,rs12613195 and rs1583048) of ZNF804A gene in 320 patients with schizophrenia (case group) and 324 normal people (control group).The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess cognitive function.Results (1) The allelic and genotypic distributions in rs1344706 between patients with schizophrenia (T/T,T/G,G/G genotypes:20.3％,50.0％,29.7％),and healthy controls(T/T,T/G,G/G genotypes:13.7％,51.2％,35.1％)had statistically significance(P＞0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the allele and genotype distribution of rs1344706 between the case group and the control group (P＜0.05),and the family transmission disequilibrium existed in rs1344706 and rs12613195.(2) The MoCA scores in the case group(＜26 points) were lower than those of the control group (P＜0.05).(3)There was a statistically significant difference between the total scores of MoCA (F=202.49,P＜0.05) and scores assessed in different time (F=53.34,P＜ 0.05) in patients with three genotypes of rs1344706.Moreover,the interaction between genotype and time was also statistically significant (F=3.88,P＜0.05),in which the patients with T/T genotype had the lowest total score.(4)There was a statistically significant difference between the total score of MoCA(F=367.78,P ＜0.05) and scores assessed in different time (F=27.35,P＜0.05) in patients with three genotypes of rs12613195,in which the patients with C/C genotype had the lowest total score.However,the interaction between genotype and time was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(5)The effect of rs1344706 on cognitive function was slightly larger than that of rs12613195.(6)The cognitive function scores of patients carrying rs1344706 and rs12613195 sites decreased year by year.Conclusion ZNF804A gene rs1344706 and rs12613195 may be associated with cognitive dysfunction of schizophrenia,and rs1344706T and rs12613195C may be risk factors for schizophrenia and cognitive impairment.Furthermore,cognitive impairment in patients with rs1344706 is more pronounced and worsened with prolonged condition.rs1583048 may not be associated with cognitive function of schizophrenia.
