Abstract

Background: Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a multifactorial mental disease. Whereas complex interplay of genes and environment contributes to the SCZ, the disorder has still unclear biological background. Growing amount of evidence showed that synaptic dysfunctions are contributed to SCZ etiopathogenesis. The context and purpose of the study: Complexin-3, a presynaptic regulatory protein, represents here a special interest. This study was aimed to investigate the potential association of SCZ with rs3743487 single nucleotide polymorphism of the complexin-3 protein encoding gene (CPLX3). A total of 350 unrelated individuals of Armenian nationality (175 SCZ patients and the same number of age-, sex-matched healthy controls) were genotyped for the selected polymorphism using polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers.
