Association between DRD2 and ANKK1 polymorphisms with the deficit syndrome in schizophrenia. Ann Gen Psychiatry 2020; 19:39. [PMID: 32565876 PMCID: PMC7302002 DOI: 10.1186/s12991-020-00289-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2019] [Accepted: 06/11/2020] [Indexed: 01/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical course of schizophrenia varies among patients and is difficult to predict. Some patient populations present persistent negative symptoms, referred to as the deficit syndrome. Compared to relatives of non-deficit schizophrenia patients, family members of this patient population are at an increased risk of developing schizophrenia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to search for genetic underpinnings of the deficit syndrome in schizophrenia. METHODS Three SNPs, i.e., rs1799732 and rs6276 located within DRD2, and rs1800497 within ANKK1, were identified in the DNA samples of 198 schizophrenia probands, including 103 patients with deficit (DS) and 95 patients with non-deficit schizophrenia (NDS). Results: No significant differences concerning any of the analyzed polymorphisms were found between DS and NDS patients. However, significant links were observed between family history of schizophrenia and the deficit syndrome, G/G genotype and rs6276 G allele. In a separate analysis, we identified significant differences in frequencies of rs6276 G allele between DS and NDS patients with family history of schizophrenia. No significant associations were found between DRD2 and ANKK1 SNPs and the age of onset or schizophrenia symptom severity. CONCLUSIONS The results of our preliminary study fail to provide evidence of associations between DRD2 and ANKK1 polymorphisms with the deficit syndrome or schizophrenia symptom severity, but suggest potential links between rs6276 in DRD2 and the deficit syndrome in patients with hereditary susceptibility to schizophrenia. However, further studies are necessary to confirm this observation.

Abstract
Dopaminergic system dysfunction is involved in schizophrenia (SCZ) pathogenesis and can mediate SCZ-related motor disorders. Recent studies have gradually revealed that SCZ susceptibility and the associated motor symptoms can be mediated by genetic factors, including dopaminergic genes. More importantly, polymorphisms in these genes are associated with both antipsychotic drug sensitivity and adverse effects. The study of genetic polymorphisms in the dopaminergic system may help to optimize individualized drug strategies for SCZ patients. This review summarizes the current progress about the involvement of the dopamine system in SCZ-associated motor disorders and the motor-related adverse effects after antipsychotic treatment, with a special focus on polymorphisms in dopaminergic genes. We hypothesize that the genetic profile of the dopaminergic system mediates both SCZ-associated motor deficits associated and antipsychotic drug-related adverse effects. The study of dopaminergic gene polymorphisms may help to predict drug efficacy and decrease adverse effects, thereby optimizing treatment strategies.

Abstract
Factors that influence the variation in occurrence of antipsychotic-related parkinsonism in elderly have not been well elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate whether previous identified and studied genetic polymorphisms at DRD2, ANKK1, DRD3, HTR2A, HTR2C, RGS2, COMT, and BDNF genes are associated with antipsychotic-related parkinsonism in elderly patients.This cross-sectional study included 150 inpatients aged 65 years and older who were treated with haloperidol. Parkinsonism assessed by the Simpson Angus Scale was present in 46% of the included patients. The investigated predictors were polymorphisms in DRD2 (141CIns/Del and C957T), ANNK1 (TaqIA), DRD3 (Ser9Gly), HTR2A (-1438G>A and His452Tyr), HTR2C (Cys23Ser and -759C/T), RGS2 (+2971C>G), COMT (G158A), and BDNF (Val66Met). Frequencies of the -759 T allele of the HTR2C gene and the 158A allele of the COMT gene were significantly higher in patients without antipsychotic-induced parkinsonism (AIP) (nominal P = 0.03 and P = 0.02, respectively). -759 T allele carriership in females was associated with a lower risk of AIP (adjusted odds ratio, 0.31; 95% confidence interval, 0.11-0.85). The decrease in risk of AIP in carriers of the COMT 158A allele did not reach statistical significance. No significant associations were found between AIP and the remaining selected polymorphisms.Although validation is needed, this study suggests that carriership of the -759 T allele of the HTR2C gene in females may be protective against development of parkinsonism in elderly patients during treatment with haloperidol.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes coding for dopaminergic and serotonergic receptors and transporters have been associated with the clinical effects and adverse drug reactions of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency and combinations of common polymorphisms in the dopamine transporter (DAT1), dopamine D(2) receptor (DRD2), dopamine D(3) receptor (DRD3), serotonin transporter (5HTT), and serotonin 2A receptor (5HTR2A) genes in a Norwegian population. To determine the background frequency in the population, 250 blood samples were consecutively collected from healthy Norwegian blood donors (125 men and 125 women; mean age: 48±11 years). Samples were tested for DAT1 VNTR, DRD2 Taq1A, DRD3 Ser9Gly, 5HTTLPR, and four polymorphisms (102 T>C, His452Tyr, 516 C>T, and Thr25Asn) in the 5HTR2A, using polymerase chain reaction and real-time polymerase chain reaction. We observed the frequency of the nine-repeat allele of DAT1 VNTR polymorphism as 20% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.18-0.23), the A1 allele of DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism as 21% (95% CI: 0.19-0.23), the A1 allele of DRD3 Ser9Gly polymorphism as 68% (95% CI: 0.66-0.70), the short allele of 5HTTLPR as 38% (95% CI: 0.36-0.40), and the T allele of 5HTR2A 102 T>C polymorphism as 41% (95% CI: 0.39-0.41), and the frequencies of 5HTR2A His452Tyr and 5HTR2A Thr25Asn were 93% and 95%, respectively. The tested polymorphisms showed differences compared with other European populations. Further studies are necessary to better understand the effect of these alleles and their combinations on personality, mental disorders, drug response, and adverse reactions of psychotropic drugs.

Abstract
Response to psychiatric medications in later life is highly heterogeneous and complex. Monoaminergic-related polymorphisms may influence medication response and susceptibility to side effects in elderly individuals. Individuals with the lower function short (S) allele of the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4) insertion/deletion (indel) promoter polymorphism (5-HTTLPR) have both increased the likelihood of adverse drug events and increased the need for higher antidepressant concentrations to obtain maximum antidepressant response. By contrast, carriers of the higher expression homozygous long allele (L/L) genotype may respond at lower concentrations. The differential role of these polymorphisms appears at early stages of treatment rather than in the final antidepressant outcome. Research findings suggest that the rs25531 SNP may influence functional expression of the L allele. Similarly, a variable number of tandem repeats in the second intron of the serotonin transporter gene may influence the expression of SLC6A4 and the implications of these variants may be influenced by aging. Two polymorphisms, rs2242466 (-182T/C) and rs5569 (1287G/A), in the norepinephrine transporter gene (SLC6A2 or NET) have been associated with antidepressant response. Studies in dopamine-related polymorphisms have focused on associations with neuroleptic-induced movement disorders. The rs1800497 variant (Taq1A) of the dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2) gene located in a noncoding 3´ region may regulate expression of D2 receptors. The rs6280 variant (Ser9Gly) of the dopamine receptor 3 (DRD3) gene may influence the binding affinity of D3 receptors as a result of serine to glycine substitution of the receptor protein. A multicenter collaborative research effort would be an effective strategy to increase sample sizes to further investigate how gene variants impact the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of psychotropic drugs in elderly persons.

Genome-wide association study of antipsychotic-induced parkinsonism severity among schizophrenia patients. Psychopharmacology (Berl) 2009; 206:491-9.

Abstract
RATIONALE Antipsychotic-induced parkinsonism (AIP) is a severe adverse affect of neuroleptic treatment. Interindividual heterogeneity in AIP development and severity is associated with risk factors such as antipsychotic drug type, old age, and female gender. There is evidence for genetic predisposition to develop AIP but the variants that confer susceptibility or protection are mostly unknown. OBJECTIVE To identify genes related to AIP susceptibility, we performed a pharmacogenomic genome-wide association study (GWAS) for AIP severity. METHODS Three hundred ninety-seven American schizophrenia patients who participated in the Clinical Antipsychotic Trials of Intervention Effectiveness (CATIE)-GWAS project were included in our analysis. Patients had been randomized to treatment with antipsychotic monotherapy for periods ranging from 2 weeks to 18 months during phase 1 of the CATIE trial. They were regularly assessed for AIP severity using the modified Simpson-Angus Scale (SAS). For statistical analysis, patients were dichotomized as cases (average SAS mean global score > 0.3 during CATIE phase 1, N = 199) or controls (average SAS mean global score 0, N = 198). RESULTS Using logistic regression and controlling for population stratification, age, gender, SAS score at baseline, and concomitant use of anticholinergic drugs, we identified several single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with AIP severity. Although none reached the GWAS significance level of P < 4.2 x 10(-7), some promising candidate genes for further research on genetic predisposition to AIP were identified including EPF1, NOVA1, and FIGN. CONCLUSIONS Our finding may contribute to understanding of the pathophysiology of AIP as well as to a priori identification of patients vulnerable for development of AIP.

Abstract
We present a pharmacogenetic study of acute antipsychotic (AP)-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) using an extensive linkage disequilibrium mapping approach in seven-candidate genes with a well-established link to dopamine (DRD2, DRD3, ACE, COMT, DAT, MAO-A, MAO-B). From a cohort of 321 psychiatric inpatients, 81 cases presenting with EPS (Simpson-Angus > 3) and 189 controls presenting without EPS (Simpson-Angus < or = 3) took part. Eighty-four-tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes were genotyped. After extensive data cleaning, 70 SNPs were analyzed for association of single markers and haplotypes. AP dosage, AP-DRD2 blockade potency and age were identified as susceptibility factors for AP-induced EPS. One SNP of the DRD3 gene, rs167771, achieved significant association with EPS risk after Bonferroni correction (nominal P-value 1.3 x 10(-4)) in the patients treated with risperidone (132 patients). AP-induced EPS remains a serious public health problem. Our finding of a common SNP (rs167771) in the DRD3 gene provides a strong new candidate gene for risperidone-induced EPS.

Abstract
The relationship is examined of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) polymorphism (TaqIA, TaqIB, -141 C Ins/Del) and the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) polymorphism (A-278G, G158A) to the risk of antipsychotic-induced extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) in schizophrenia and bipolar disorders. Participants comprised 80 cases presenting with EPS (Simpson-Angus Scale score >3) and 188 controls presenting without EPS (Simpson-Angus Scale score <or=3) participated in this study. The COMT(L) allele conferred a reduction of EPS risk of 60% to heterozygotes, but the finding did not survive correction for multiple comparisons. In the bipolar subgroup, with a COMT(L) allele protection of 70%, the reduction remained significant after Bonferroni correction. The analysis of the COMT haplotypes revealed an association of the A-G haplotype with EPS risk in the overall group and the bipolar disorder subgroup, and an association of the A-A haplotype with EPS protection in the bipolar subgroup. No significant associations were found for DRD2 or COMT A-278G polymorphisms. This is the first report of an association between the COMT polymorphism and EPS susceptibility. These results are of interest in view of the increased use of antipsychotic drugs in bipolar patients in both the acute manic and the depressive phase.

Abstract
We studied the association between polymorphisms of genes coding for dopamine D(2) (DRD2), dopamine D(3) (DRD3), serotonin 2(a) (HTR2A), and serotonin 2(c) (HTR2C) receptors and Antipsychotic-Induced Parkinsonism (AIP), rigidity, bradykinesia, and rest-tremor in African-Caribbeans treated with antipsychotics. Polymorphisms of DRD2 (-141CIns/Del, TaqIA, 957C > T), DRD3 (Ser9Gly), HTR2A (-1438A > G, 102T > C, His452Tyr), and HTR2C (-759C > T, Cys23Ser) genes were determined according to standard protocols. The Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale was used for the measurement of AIP, rigidity, bradykinesia, and rest-tremor. Chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests were applied for the association analyses. The t-test was applied for continuous data. Ninety nine males and 27 females met the inclusion criteria (Schizophr Res 1996, 19:195). In males, but not in females, there were significant associations between -141CDel-allele carriership (DRD2) and rigidity (Fisher's Exact Test: P = 0.021) and between 23Ser-allele carriership (HTR2C) and bradykinesia (P = 0.026, chi(2) = 5.0) or AIP (P = 0.008, chi(2) = 7.1). Rest-tremor was not associated with any of the polymorphisms studied. Analyses of the age, chlorpromazine equivalents, benztropine equivalents, the number of patients using anticholinergic medication, and the utilization patterns of the antipsychotic medication did not show statistically significant differences between patients with and without AIP, rigidity, bradykinesia, rest-tremor. Conducting the analysis without gender stratification did not affect our findings considerably, except for the association between bradykinesia and 23Ser-allele which failed to reach statistical significance in the total sample (P = 0.0646, chi(2) = 3.41). Since AIPs subsymptoms (rigidity, bradykinesia, and rest-tremor) may differ pharmacogenetically, our data strongly support symptom-specific analysis of AIP. However, further research is warranted to confirm our findings.

Association between dopamine-related polymorphisms and plasma concentrations of prolactin during risperidone treatment in schizophrenic patients. Prog Neuropsychopharmacol Biol Psychiatry 2008; 32:1491-5.

Abstract
Hyperprolactinemia is an inevitable consequence of treatment with antipsychotic agents to some extent because prolactin response to antipsychotics is related to dopamine blockade. Recent studies have suggested that polymorphisms of the dopamine receptors are associated with therapeutic response to antipsychotics. Thus, we studied the effects of major polymorphisms of dopamine-related genes on plasma concentration of prolactin. Subjects were 174 schizophrenic patients (68 males, 106 females) receiving 3 mg twice daily of risperidone for at least 4 weeks. Sample collections were conducted 12 h after the bedtime dosing. Five dopamine-related polymorphisms (Taq1A, -141C ins/del for DRD2, Ser9Gly for DRD3, 48 bp VNTR for DRD4, Val158Met for COMT) were identified. The mean (+/-SD) plasma concentration of prolactin in females was significantly higher than males (54.3+/-27.2 ng/ml versus 126.8+/-70.2 ng/ml, p<0.001). No dopamine-related polymorphisms differed the plasma concentration of prolactin in males or females. Multiple regression analyses including plasma drug concentration and age revealed that plasma concentration of prolactin correlated with gender (standardized partial correlation coefficients (beta)=0.551, p<0.001) and negatively with age (standardized beta=-0.202, p<0.01). No correlations were found between prolactin concentration and dopamine-related polymorphisms. These findings suggest that plasma prolactin concentrations in females are much higher than in males but the dopamine-related variants are not predominantly associated with plasma concentration of prolactin.

Abstract
Despite accumulating evidence pointing to a genetic basis for tardive dyskinesia, results to date have been inconsistent owing to limited statistical power and limitations in molecular genetic methodology. A Medline, EMBASE and PsychINFO search for literature published between 1976 and June 2007 was performed, yielding 20 studies from which data were extracted for calculation of pooled estimates using meta-analytic techniques. Evidence from pooled data for genetic association with tardive dyskinesia (TD) showed (1) in COMT(val158met), using Val-Val homozygotes as reference category, a protective effect for Val-Met heterozygotes (OR=0.63, 95% CI: 0.46-0.86, P=0.004) and Met carriers (OR=0.66, 95% CI: 0.49-0.88, P=0.005); (2) in Taq1A in DRD2, using the A1 variant as reference category, a risk-increasing effect for the A2 variant (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.03-1.65, P=0.026), and A2-A2 homozygotes using A1-A1 as reference category (OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.03-3.15, P=0.037); (3) in MnSOD Ala-9Val, using Ala-Ala homozygotes as reference category, a protective effect for Ala-Val (OR=0.37, 95% CI: 0.17-0.79, P=0.009) and for Val carriers (OR=0.49, 95% CI: 0.24-1.00, P=0.047). These analyses suggest multiple genetic influences on TD, indicative of pharmacogenetic interactions. Although associations are small, the effects underlying them may be subject to interactions with other loci that, when identified, may have acceptable predictive power. Future genetic research will take advantage of new genomic knowledge. Molecular Psychiatry (2008) 13, 544-556; doi:10.1038/sj.mp.4002142; published online 8 January 2008.

Abstract
Antipsychotic treatment is hampered by the induction of side-effects such as tardive dyskinesia (TD), weight gain, sedation and extrapyramidal side-effects (EPS). Identification of the factors related to their development would facilitate their avoidance and the improvement of antipsychotic treatment. It has been hypothesised that genetic variants in drug targeted receptors may contribute to the development of side-effects. In this study, we have investigated the possible influence of genetic variants (-563-C/T, -4155-G/C and -4884-A/G) of the alpha(1A)-adrenergic receptor, an important target of atypical antipsychotic drugs, and development of side-effects after antipsychotic medication in a sample of N = 427 US Caucasian patients. We found several marginal associations (p < 0.05) between alpha(1A)-adrenergic genetic variants and antipsychotic-induced side-effects which did not reach statistical significance after corrections for multiple analyses. These results do not support a major role of alpha(1A)-adrenergic genetic variants in obesity and other side-effects observed after prolonged treatment with antipsychotic medications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We observed that CYP2D6 contributes to pharmacodynamic tissue sensitivity to perphenazine as measured by the areas under the curve (AUCs) expressed as a ratio (prolactin-AUC0-6/perphenazine-AUC0-6) in Chinese Canadians [Pharmacogenetics and Genomics 2007; 17:339-347]. As genetic heterogeneity in drug targets can influence drug response, we sought to further evaluate the contribution of CYP2D6 to pharmacodynamic sensitivity in our previous study sample in tandem with DRD2, the primary molecular target for perphenazine. METHODS Genotyping for DRD2 Taq1A, -141C ins/del and Ser311Cys functional polymorphisms was performed using PCR-restriction-fragment length polymorphism methods. RESULTS After controlling for DRD2 polymorphisms, CYP2D6 was a significant predictor of pituitary pharmacodynamic tissue sensitivity to perphenazine (P=0.024; power=80.4%). Taq1A polymorphism significantly influenced the time course of prolactin response (P=0.039; power=70%). A1/A1 genotype displayed a higher prolactin elevation 2 h after perphenazine administration (P=0.02). Patients with -141C ins/ins genotype showed a strong trend toward a 38% larger prolactin AUC compared with the -141C ins/del genotypic group (P=0.07). CONCLUSIONS CYP2D6 seems to be an independent contributor to pituitary pharmacodynamic tissue sensitivity to perphenazine after accounting for DRD2 functional polymorphisms. The A1 allele of the Taq1A polymorphism was previously shown to decrease D2 receptor density in vitro and in neuroimaging studies in vivo. At a given antipsychotic dose, individuals with A1 allele might thus achieve a higher DRD2 antipsychotic occupancy, which is consistent with an increased prolactin elevation in the A1/A1 genotype in this study. These findings provide a basis for further studies on the endogenous substrates of CYP2D6 and the rational selection of candidate genes for long-term consequences of antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia (e.g. susceptibility to breast and prostate cancers).

Abstract
DRD(1) and DRD(2) receptor gene variants have been associated with clinical aspects of schizophrenia; however only specific features were analyzed in different samples. To assess the complex interaction between genetic and clinical factors, we studied the possible cross-interactions between DRD1 and DRD2 dopamine receptor gene polymorphisms, symptomatology of schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorders, and the occurrence of treatment induced side effects taking into consideration possible clinical confounding variables. One hundred thirty one outpatients in stable remission meeting the DSMIV criteria for schizophrenia spectrum disorders and receiving long-term maintenance therapy with haloperidol, fluphenazine, zuclopenthixole, or risperidone were genotyped for DRD1 A-48G, DRD2 Ins-141CDel, and DRD2 Ser311Cys polymorphisms. Psychopathological symptoms were assessed with the positive and negative syndrome scale for schizophrenia (PANSS). Extrapyramidal side effects were assessed with the Simpson-Angus extrapyramidal side effects scale (EPS), the Barnes Akathisia scale (BARS), and the abnormal involuntary movement scale (AIMS). Drug dosage was included as covariant because it was associated with the severity of symptomatology, akathisia, and parkinsonism. No association was observed for DRD1 and DRD2 polymorphisms and extrapyramidal side effects, or with the other clinical variables considered. Our study suggests that DRD1 and DRD2 variants are not liability factors for tardive dyskinesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about the influence of polymorphisms of the dopamine and serotonin system on the risk for extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS) during treatment with antipsychotic drugs. METHODS Of 119 subjects with schizophrenia treated with antipsychotics, 63 had current or previous EPS (acute dystonia, parkinsonism, tardive dyskinesia), and 56 had no such symptoms. All subjects were genotyped for a total of eight dopamine and serotonin receptor and transporter polymorphisms: the Taq1A polymorphism of the dopamine D(2) receptor (DRD2) gene, the Msc1 polymorphism of the dopamine D(3) receptor (DRD3) gene, the variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) polymorphism of the dopamine transporter (DAT1) gene, four polymorphisms (102T/C, His452Tyr, 516 C/T, and Thr25Asn) of the serotonin 5-HT(2A) receptor (5HTR2A) gene, and the 5HTTLPR polymorphism of the serotonin transporter (5HTT) gene. RESULTS The frequency of the A1 allele of the DRD2 Taq1A polymorphism was significantly higher in the EPS group than in the control group [16% vs. 7%, P = 0.040; odds ratio (OR) 2.4; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.1-5.7]. Also, the 9 repeat allele of the DAT1 VNTR polymorphism was significantly more common in the EPS group (42% vs. 28%, P = 0.030; OR 1.9; 95% CI 1.1-3.3). Being a carrier of both DRD2 Taq1A A1 and DAT1 VNTR 9 repeat alleles was also significantly associated with the occurrence of EPS (19% vs. 6%, P = 0.040; OR 4.0; 95% CI 1.05-15.2) No significant differences in allele frequencies were found for the other polymorphisms. CONCLUSION Presence of the Taq1A A1 allele of the DRD2 and the 9 repeat allele of the DAT1 VNTR polymorphisms might be risk factors for EPS caused by antipsychotic drugs.

Abstract
There is substantial unexplained interindividual variability in the drug treatment of schizophrenia. A substantial proportion of patients respond inadequately to antipsychotic drugs, and many experience limiting side effects. As genetic factors are likely to contribute to this variability, the pharmacogenetics of schizophrenia has attracted substantial effort. The approaches have mainly been limited to association studies of polymorphisms in candidate genes, which have been indicated by the pharmacology of antipsychotic drugs. Although some advances have been made, particularly in understanding the pharmacogenetics of some limiting side effects, genetic prediction of symptom response remains elusive. Nevertheless, with improvements in defining the response phenotype in carefully assessed and homogeneous subject groups, the near future is likely to see the identification of genetic predictors of outcome that may inform the choice of pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
A significant variability is observed among patients in response to antipsychotics, and is caused by a variety of factors. This review summarizes the available knowledge of associations between pharmacogenetics and drug response in schizophrenia. The multifactorial etiology of schizophrenia makes it a complex interaction of symptoms. Adopting a pharmacogenomics approach represents a unique opportunity for the prediction of response to antipsychotic drugs by investigating genes implicated with specific symptoms and side effects. A network model of the interaction/crosstalk between the neurotransmitter signaling systems is presented to emphasize the importance of the genes associated with the molecular mechanisms of the disease and drug response. These genes may serve as potential susceptibility genes and drug targets for schizophrenia. The crucial point for the identification of a significant biologic marker(s) will include not only the experimental validation of the genes involved in the neurotransmitter signaling systems, but also the availability of large exactly comparable phenotyped patients samples. Coupling our knowledge of genetic polymorphisms with clinical response data promises a bright future for rapid advances in personalized medicine.
