Research on the Relationship Between Schizophrenia and Excitatory Amino Acid Transporter 1 Gene Based on Nanogold...

Schizophrenia is one of the most common central nervous system diseases, which is caused by abnormal discharge of neurons in the brain. Its occurrence and development are affected by both genetic and environmental factors. The variation of gene level can affect the development of schizophrenia and the treatment of prognosis by affecting the susceptibility, clinical phenotype and drug response. At present, the research results of susceptibility genes screened by candidate gene association research are not consistent. The method of gene recognition on DNA was studied by QCM and nano gold composite. By using this method, the enantioselective recognition of cysteine on cyclodextrin self-assembled membrane was studied. In this study, EAAT1 gene, which is highly expressed in astrocytes, was used as a candidate gene to analyze the relationship between polymorphism and schizophrenia. The experimental results show that the introduction of nano gold can significantly improve the sensing signal, detection sensitivity and gene differentiation. In addition, this study suggested that EAAT1 gene might be a susceptibility gene of schizophrenia in the population. The results showed that a common SNP allele rs1030239-g was the risk factor (83.8% vs. 79.2%, P = 0.00067, or = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.08-1.69). The results showed that A-T-G increased the risk of schizophrenia.
