Embodiment 1

[0032] Example 1. Using biomarkers to diagnose schizophrenia

[0033] 1. Gene name: SHANK3

[0034] 2. Fragment sequence (144bp in length, the two CGs underlined are hypermethylated sites):

[0035] TCAGCTGCACCACTCAGGCCAGGCCAGTGGCCTTGGGAGGGGCCTGTGATGCTGGGACCACAGTTCCTGGGCAGGGAGCAAC CG TCTAGGCGTGGGGAGAACGCAGGA CG TGACCCACACACCGCACTGGAGGCTCCGCTCTGC (SEQ ID NO. 1)

[0036] The above-mentioned hypermethylated sites are the CGs at the 83rd and 84th positions and the CGs at the 109th and 110th positions of the fragment sequence respectively.

[0037] 3. Experimental method

[0038] Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from 5 patients with schizophrenia and 4 normal controls were prepared by reprogramming technology, and induced into cortical interneurons. In these neurons, it was verified that the methylation level of the above-mentioned gene fragment sequence was significantly increased in patients with schizophrenia compared with normal controls, proving that the increased...

Embodiment 2

[0055] Example 2. Using biomarkers to diagnose schizophrenia

[0056] In addition to detecting the increased methylation level of the above fragment sequence of the SHANK3 gene promoter in the cortical interneurons of Example 1; schizophrenia can also be diagnosed by detecting the increased methylation level of the above fragment sequence of the SHANK3 gene promoter in peripheral mononuclear cells disease.

[0057] In summary, the present invention found that the 144bp fragment sequence of the SHANK3 gene promoter can be used as a biomarker for the diagnosis of schizophrenia. Compared with healthy people, the methylation levels of the 83rd and 84th CGs and the 109th and 110th CGs of this fragment sequence were significantly increased in patients with schizophrenia. Therefore, the fragment sequence methylation detection reagent with a length of 144bp of the SHANK3 gene promoter can be used to prepare a schizophrenia diagnostic kit for early diagnosis of schizophrenia, and has ...

Abstract

The invention provides application of an SHANK3 fragment sequence methylation detection reagent in preparation of a diagnostic kit for schizophrenia, belonging to the technical field of in-vitro diagnostic reagents. The research finds that a fragment sequence with a length of 144 bp in a SHANK3 gene promoter can be used as a biomarker for diagnosing schizophrenia. Compared with healthy people, the methylation levels of CG at the 83<rd> and 84 sites and CG at the 109 and 110 sites of the fragment sequence of a schizophrenia patient are obviously increased. Therefore, the methylation detection reagent for the fragment sequence with the length of 144 bp in the SHANK3 gene promoter can be used for preparing the diagnosis kit for schizophrenia, is used for early diagnosis of schizophrenia, and has good application prospects.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of in vitro diagnostic reagents, and in particular relates to the application of a SHANK3 fragment sequence methylation detection reagent in the preparation of a diagnostic kit for schizophrenia. Background technique [0002] Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a chronic disabling encephalopathy characterized by damage to thinking, emotion, volition, etc. It usually occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood, and its lifetime prevalence is about 1%. , can seriously affect the patient's life, work, study and social function. However, the pathophysiological mechanism of schizophrenia has not been fully elucidated so far, and the diagnosis and classification criteria of schizophrenia are still based on the patient's clinical symptoms and behavioral description, lacking a reliable biological basis to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment, which greatly limits the Objective diagnosis, early intervention and effective tre...
