In particular, the specific contribution of risk or candidate gene variants to the complex schizophrenic phenotype is largely unknown. Objective: To prepare the ground for a novel “phenomics” approach, a unique schizophrenia patient database was established by GRAS (Göttingen Research Association for Schizophrenia), designed to allow association of genetic information with quantifiable phenotypes. Because synaptic dysfunction plays a key role in schizophrenia, the complexin 2 gene (CPLX2) was examined in the first phenotype-based genetic association study (PGAS) of GRAS. Design: Subsequent to a classic case-control approach, we analyzed the contribution of CPLX2 polymorphisms to discrete cognitive domains within the schizophrenic population. To gain mechanistic insight into how certain CPLX2 variants influence gene expression and function, peripheral blood mononuclear cells of patients, Cplxnull mutantmice, and transfected cells were investigated.Setting: Coordinating research center (Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine) and 23 collaboratingpsychiatric centers all over Germany.Participants: One thousand seventy-one patients with schizophrenia (DSM-IV) examined by an invariant investigator team, resulting in the GRAS database with more than 3000 phenotypic data points per patient, and 1079 healthy control subjects of comparable ethnicity.Main Outcome Measure: Cognitive performance including executive functioning, reasoning, and verbal learning/memory. Results: Six single-nucleotide polymorphisms, distributed over the whole CPLX2 gene, were found to be highly associated with current cognition of schizophrenic subjects but only marginally with premorbid intelligence. Correspondingly, in Cplx2-null mutant mice, prominent cognitive loss of function was obtained only in combination with a minor brain lesion applied during puberty, modeling a clinically relevant environmental risk (“second hit”) for schizophrenia. In the human CPLX2 gene, 1 of the identified 6 cognition-relevant single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs3822674 in the 3´ untranslated region, was detected to influence microRNA-498 binding and gene expression. The same marker was associated with differential expression of CPLX2 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Conclusions: The PGAS allows identification of markerassociated clinical/biological traits. Current cognitive performance in schizophrenic patients is modified by CPLX2 variants modulating posttranscriptional gene expression"],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1001/archgenpsychiatry.2010.107"],["dc.identifier.fs","577608"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150567"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6097"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7343"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Migrated from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","final"],["dc.rights.access","closedAccess"],["dc.subject","Schizophrenia"],["dc.subject.ddc","610"],["dc.title","Modification of cognitive performance in schizophrenia by complexin 2 gene polymorphisms"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dc.type.version","published_version"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

The neurodegenerative component of schizophrenia is best documented by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demonstrating progressive cortical gray matter loss over time. No treatment exists to counteract this slowly proceeding atrophy. The hematopoietic growth factor erythropoietin (EPO) is neuroprotective in animals. Here, we show by voxel-based morphometry in 32 human subjects in a placebo-controlled study that weekly high-dose EPO for as little as 3 months halts the progressive atrophy in brain areas typically affected in schizophrenia, including hippocampus, amygdala, nucleus accumbens, and several neocortical areas. Specifically, gray matter protection is highly associated with improvement in attention and memory functions. These findings suggest that a neuroprotective strategy is effective against common pathophysiological features of schizophrenic patients, and strongly encourage follow-up studies to optimize EPO treatment dose and duration."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1038/mp.2010.51"],["dc.identifier.gro","3150516"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/6267"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/7289"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.rights","Goescholar"],["dc.rights.uri","https://goescholar.uni-goettingen.de/licenses"],["dc.subject","hematopoietic growth factor; neuroregeneration; neuroprotection; voxel-based morphometry; brain atrophy; cognition; schizophrenia"],["dc.title","Recombinant human erythropoietin delays loss of gray matter in chronic schizophrenia"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
