    Properdin factor B (Bf) FS type decreased significantly in schizophrenia patients with a family history. No significant differences were observed in patients without a family history or controls, suggesting a potential genetic link.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Psychiatry
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Schizophrenia is a complex psychiatric disorder with potential genetic and environmental influences.
    • Properdin factor B (Bf) is a component of the complement system, involved in immune responses.
    • Genetic variations in Bf have been investigated for associations with various diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the phenotype frequencies of properdin factor B (Bf) in individuals with and without a family history of schizophrenia.
    • To explore potential associations between Bf phenotypes and familial risk for schizophrenia.

    Main Methods:

    • Phenotype frequencies of properdin factor B (Bf) were analyzed.
    • Comparison groups included patients with a family history of schizophrenia (n=47), patients without a family history (n=66), and controls.

    Main Results:

    • A statistically significant decrease in the FS type of properdin factor B (Bf) was observed in patients with a family history of schizophrenia.
    • No significant differences in Bf phenotype frequencies were found between patients without a family history of schizophrenia and the control group.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings suggest a potential association between the properdin factor B (Bf) FS type and a family history of schizophrenia.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the role of Bf in the genetic susceptibility to schizophrenia.
