Abstract

Objectives: In the search for chromosome 12 genes potentially involved in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder we will screen Phenylalanine hydroxylase and human LIM-homeobox LHX5 genes for sequence variants, both of which have been suggested as candidate genes. The genes lie on chromosome 12q23–24, near the Darier's disease gene, ATP2A2. We have previously reported two families in which the pattern of segregation of illness is consistent with genetic linkage between this chromosomal region and a putative highly penetrant autosomal dominant major affective disorder locus (pedigree 324, maximum LOD=2.1; pedigree 5501, maximum LOD=3.6). Methods: We screened the coding and intronic flanking regions of the phenylalanine hydroxylase and LHX5 genes for sequence variation by denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography in individuals from the pedigrees. Results: In total, nine single nucleotide polymorphisms and one 6 base pair deletion were identified. Conclusion: Our studies allowed us to conclude that none of these variants act as a highly penetrant autosomal dominant susceptibility locus for mood disorder in our families.
