ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Tardive dyskinesia (TD) is a motor side effect that may develop after long-term antipsychotic treatment. Schizophrenia has recently been associated with the Neurexin-1 (NRXN1) gene that codes for a cell adhesion molecule in synaptic communication.METHODS:
This study examined five NRXN1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for possible association with the occurrence and severity of TD in 178 schizophrenia patients of European ancestry.RESULTS:
We did not find these SNPs to be significantly associated with TD.CONCLUSIONS:
More research is needed with additional SNPs and in bigger samples before we can completely rule out the role of NRXN1 in TD.Key words
