New York State Psychiatric Institute: New York, 1977. Pharmacogenetics is the real future of genetic research in schizophrenia Dalu Mancama, Maria J Arranz and Robert W Kerwin Advances in drug design and development have brought about substantial improvements in the clinical management of patients. However, not all individuals benefit from pharmacological intervention as some fail to respond satisfactorily while others develop side effects that impair the overall success of treatment.
Functional studies have found that mutant mice heterozygous for either neuregulin 1 or ErbB4 show a behavioural phenotype that overlaps with mouse models of schizophrenia. Furthermore, neuregulin 1 hypomorphs have fewer functional NMDA receptors than wild type mice. 10 It is possible that these findings are indicative of glutamate dysfunction, taking into consideration that glutamate signalling through the NMDA receptor may induce psychosis in healthy people and exacerbate manifestations of schizophrenia.
First, it is likely that there are a number of genes of modest effect (oligogenes), but that there will also almost certainly be a huge number of genes of small effect (polygenes) that are influencing susceptibility and modifying the phenotype. As a result we can expect a great deal of complexity and uncertainty in terms of the predictive value of genetics. Second, given the fact that schizophrenia is defined only at a syndromic level, heterogeneity is expected. It should also be no surprise if schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have some genes in common, given the clinical overlap of the two Schizophrenia: Challenging the orthodox 16 syndromes.
