Abstract:
:In the present study, we analyzed schizophrenia (SCZ)-related genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to identify genes and pathways associated with SCZ. We identified 1,098 common genes (1,098/9,468) and 20 shared KEGG pathways (both P<0.01) by integrating candidate genes from the European and American SCZ-related GWAS. The pathways related to axon guidance, long term potentiation and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) were highly significant (P<10-3). Moreover, 15 axon guidance pathway-related genes were associated with SCZ. The association between axon guidance pathway genes and SCZ was validated by a two-stage case-control study on Shandong migrants in northeastern China. Moreover, individuals with the rs9944880 TT polymorphism in the deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC) gene were associated with SCZ. These findings indicate that the axon guidance pathway genes and the rs9944880 SNP in DCC gene are associated with SCZ pathogenesis.
