Following initial positive studies, it not only was found to be associated with BD but also implicated in the etiology of other psychiatric disorders featuring affective symptoms, rendering DGKH a cross-disorder risk gene. However, the (patho-)physiological role of the encoded enzyme is still elusive. In the present study, we investigated primarily the influence of a risk haplotype on amygdala volume in patients suffering from schizophrenia or BD as well as healthy controls and four single nucleotide polymorphisms conveying risk. There was a significant association of the DGKH risk haplotype with increased amygdala volume in BD, but not in schizophrenia or healthy controls. These findings add to the notion of a role of DGKH in the pathogenesis of BD."],["dc.description.sponsorship","DFG [RTG 1253/1, RE1632/5-1]; BMBF (DZHI) [01EO1004]; IZKF [Z3-24]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00406-014-0513-9"],["dc.identifier.isi","000350305500005"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24958494"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/37825"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.publisher.place","Heidelberg"],["dc.relation.issn","1433-8491"],["dc.relation.issn","0940-1334"],["dc.title","Influence of DGKH variants on amygdala volume in patients with bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Impairments in memory and executive function are key components of schizophrenia. These disturbances have been linked to several subcortical and cortical networks. For example, anatomical and functional changes in the hippocampus have been linked to deficits in these cognitive domains. However, the association between hippocampal morphometry, neurochemistry and function is controversial. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between hippocampal anomalies and their functional relevance. Methods. Fifty-seven first-episode schizophrenia patients (FE-SZ) and 61 healthy control subjects (HC) participated in this study. Hippocampal volumes were investigated using structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) and hippocampal neurochemistry was determined using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H MRS). Verbal memory was used as a hippocampus-dependent cognitive task whereas working memory and cognitive flexibility assessed frontal lobe function. Results. FE-SZ presented smaller volumes of the left hippocampus, with a significant correlation between left hippocampal volume and verbal memory performance (immediate recall). There was also an inverse correlation between neurochemical ratios (NAA/Cho and Cho/Cr) and verbal memory (delayed recognition). Tests of cognitive flexibility and working memory were not correlated with MRI and 1H MRS values. Compared to HC, FE-SZ demonstrated reduced performance in all of the assessed neurocognitive domains. Conclusions. These results point to a relationship between verbal memory and hippocampal integrity in schizophrenia patients which might be independent from deficits in other memory domains. Disturbed verbal memory functions in FE-SZ might be linked specifically to hippocampal function."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) [HA 6091/1-1]"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.3109/15622975.2011.620002"],["dc.identifier.isi","000332798400003"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22047183"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/33925"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation.issn","1814-1412"],["dc.relation.issn","1562-2975"],["dc.title","Hippocampal integrity and neurocognition in first-episode schizophrenia: A multidimensional study"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Dopaminergic activity in the brain is modulated by the dopamine transporter (DAT). Several lines of evidence suggest that a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTR) polymorphism of the DAT1 gene (SLC6A3) influences its gene expression. The aim of this study was to determine whether the DAT1 VNTR polymorphism alters the metabolic ratios NAA/Cho, NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr and Ins/Cr in the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, and putamen in healthy subjects and psychiatric patients irrespective of clinical diagnosis. Material and Methods. Sixty-four individuals (30 patients with bipolar disorder, 18 patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and 16 healthy subjects) participated in the study. The 3'-UTR VNTR polymorphism of DAT1 (SLC6A3) gene was genotyped in all individuals. (1)H-MRS was performed in the above-mentioned brain regions. Results. The individuals with the homozygous DAT1 10-repeat genotype presented significantly higher ratios of NAA/Cho and NAA/Cr in the left putamen compared to the group of individuals with the 9/9-repeat or 9/10-repeat genotype. Conclusion. The VNTR polymorphism of the DAT1-gene modulates NAA/Cho and NAA/Cr in the left putamen independent of psychiatric diagnosis status.
