Identification of Rare Mutations of Two Presynaptic Cytomatrix Genes <i>BSN</i> and <i>PCLO</i> in Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder

Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are severe mental disorders with a major component of genetic factors in their etiology. Rare mutations play a significant role in these two disorders, and they are highly heterogeneous and personalized. Identification of personalized mutations is essential for the...

description Schizophrenia and bipolar disorder are severe mental disorders with a major component of genetic factors in their etiology. Rare mutations play a significant role in these two disorders, and they are highly heterogeneous and personalized.

We conducted whole-genome sequencing analysis of families with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder to search for their genetic underpinnings. This report identified a rare missense mutation Arg1087Gln of <i>BSN</i> (bassoon presynaptic cytomatrix protein) co-segregating with schizophrenia in a family with multiple affected members.
