Association of the GRIN2A gene with tardive dyskinesia in schizophrenia patients

Abstract

Tardive or tardive dyskinesia is a severe motor side effect of antipsychotic drugs characterized by involuntary rapid muscle contractions and athetoid movements of the trunk, limbs, and orofacial muscles. The exact mechanism of tardive dyskinesia is still unknown. Glutamate is the main excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system. The GRIN2A gene encodes the GluN2 subunit of the ionotropic glutamate receptor NMDA. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of polymorphic variants of the GRIN2A gene with tardive (tardive) dyskinesia in patients taking antipsychotic drugs. 944 patients with schizophrenia were examined (435 women and 509 men), Tardive dyskinesia was diagnosed in 229 patients. Genotyping of 12 polymorphic variants of the GRIN2A gene was carried out. The results of the associative analysis showed that the polymorphic variant rs8057394 is associated with tardive dyskinesia. rs7206256 of the GRIN2A gene showed an association with the orofacial form of dyskinesia. It was also found that the GG genotype and the G allele rs7192557 of the GRIN2A gene have a protective effect against the development of the limbthoracic type of tardive dyskinesia. Thus, it was possible to confirm the hypothesis about the association of the GRIN2A gene with antipsychotic-induced tardive dyskinesia in patients with schizophrenia.
