Abstract
Stress is an important risk factor for suicidal ideation, but the mechanisms that link stress, suicidal ideation and neurobiology remain unclear. Epigenetic mechanisms are involved in both vulnerability to suicidal behavior and stress. This is a pilot study of 60 patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (36 men and 24 women), with an average age of 43.75 ± 12.24 years. We analyzed the effects of (1) perceived stress and (2) the mediation of genome-wide methylation (~450 000 CpG sites) on suicidal ideation severity. The top CpG site mediating the effect of stress on suicidal ideation was the cg10782349 located in the ZNF701 gene on chromosome 19, facilitating the effect through DNA hypermethylation. These preliminary results indicate that DNA methylation in peripheral tissues can clarify the complex relationship between stress and suicidal ideation in schizophrenia.
期刊介绍：
The journal aims to publish papers which bring together clinical observations, psychological and behavioural abnormalities and genetic data. All papers are fully refereed.
Psychiatric Genetics is also a forum for reporting new approaches to genetic research in psychiatry and neurology utilizing novel techniques or methodologies. Psychiatric Genetics publishes original Research Reports dealing with inherited factors involved in psychiatric and neurological disorders. This encompasses gene localization and chromosome markers, changes in neuronal gene expression related to psychiatric disease, linkage genetics analyses, family, twin and adoption studies, and genetically based animal models of neuropsychiatric disease. The journal covers areas such as molecular neurobiology and molecular genetics relevant to mental illness.
Reviews of the literature and Commentaries in areas of current interest will be considered for publication. Reviews and Commentaries in areas outside psychiatric genetics, but of interest and importance to Psychiatric Genetics, will also be considered.
Psychiatric Genetics also publishes Book Reviews, Brief Reports and Conference Reports.
