Abstract

The study explored whether schizophrenia risk alleles of the DRD2 rs2514218 and ZNF804A rs1344706 polymorphisms also influenced the risk and severity of childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) and differentiated it from autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We compared 75 children with COS to 75 children with ASD, 150 patients with adult-onset schizophrenia and 150 healthy individuals. Frequency of the DRD2 T-allele, assumed to be protective against schizophrenia overall, was higher in COS compared to adult-onset schizophrenia and healthy controls. The risk allele A of ZNF804A was associated with greater severity of negative symptoms in COS. The latter result is consistent with the involvement of ZNF804A in the development of severe forms of schizophrenia. The findings regarding DRD2 suggest that the same genetic variants may play different roles in schizophrenia with childhood and adult onset. This warrants further research, since D2 receptor blockade is a general pharmacodynamic property of antipsychotics.
