For example, ankyrin G ( ANK3), one of the most promising susceptibility genes for BD, is also located at chromosome 10q21 ( Ferreira et al., 2008 Schulze et al., 2009 Smith et al., 2009). The linked regions could contain multiple susceptibility genes showing association ( Straub and Weinberger, 2006). The human EGR2 gene resides at chromosomal location 10q21.3, which the linkage analysis has identified as a susceptibility locus for BD ( Venken et al., 2008). Additionally, Egr2 has been reported to have different effects on cognitive function than other Egr genes ( Poirier et al., 2007). In certain circumstances, they may even have antagonistic functions for example, Egr1 and Egr2 exert opposing influences on adipocyte differentiation ( Boyle et al., 2009) and T cell receptor-induced changes in T cell function ( Collins et al., 2008). Furthermore, they are regulated by different signal pathways and serve different functions ( Beckmann and Wilce, 1997 Herdegen and Leah, 1998 Poirier et al., 2008). Additionally, a genetic association between EGR3 and bipolar disorder was recently reported ( Mansour et al., 2009).Īlthough EGRs encode closely related transcription factors that contain cys 2-his 2 zinc fingers that can bind to the same cognate GC-rich consensus DNA binding motif, individual EGR genes have little sequence homology outside the common DNA-binding domain. We replicated this in an independent association study in Korea ( Kim et al., 2010b), while a negative association has been reported in a Chinese population ( Liu et al., 2010). In particular, EGR3 has a strong, consistent association with SPR in both family-based and case-control association studies in Japanese cohorts ( Yamada et al., 2007). Moreover, downregulation of EGR1, EGR2, and EGR3 transcripts in the postmortem brains of patients with SPR has been reported ( Yamada et al., 2007). EGRs are involved in rodent models of psychotic disorders ( Gallitano-Mendel et al., 2007, 2008), as well as in the action mechanisms of antipsychotics and electroconvulsive seizures ( Yamagata et al., 1994 Jung et al., 1996 Verma et al., 2007). The EGR genes encode a family of immediate early gene transcription factors that mediate the transcription of various genes related to neuronal development and plasticity, cognition, circadian rhythm, and social behaviors ( Beckmann and Wilce, 1997 Morris et al., 1998 O'Donovan et al., 1999 Davis et al., 2003 Knapska and Kaczmarek, 2004 James et al., 2006 Baumgartel et al., 2008 Poirier et al., 2008), which have been implicated in the pathophysiology of schizophrenia (SPR) and bipolar disorder (BD). Combined with a plausible biological function of EGR2, the EGR2 gene is a possible susceptibility gene in BD.Įarly growth response ( EGR) genes, which include EGR1, EGR2, EGR3, and EGR4, encode DNA-binding transcription factors that contain cys 2-his 2 zinc fingers ( Beckmann and Wilce, 1997 O'Donovan et al., 1999). Although an extended analysis with a larger sample size or independent replication is required, these findings suggest a genetic association of EGR2 with BD. In contrast, no significant associations were found with SPR. Among the common identified haplotypes (frequency > 5%), 'T-G-A-C-T (block 1)' and 'A-A-G-C (block 2)' haplotypes were over-represented, while 'C-G-G-T-T (block 1)' haplotype was under-represented in BD. Linkage disequilibrium structure analysis revealed two haplotype blocks. Five SNPs showed nominally significant allelic associations with BD (rs2295814, rs61865882, rs10995315, rs2297488, and rs2297489), and the positive associations of all except rs2297488 remained significant after multiple testing correction.

In 946 subjects (350 healthy controls, 352 patients with BD, and 244 with SPR), nine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the EGR2 gene region were genotyped. This study investigated the genetic association of the EGR2 gene with BD and schizophrenia (SPR) in Korea.

EGR2 is involved in cognitive function, myelination, and signal transduction related to neuregulin-ErbB receptor, Bcl-2 family proteins, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor. The early growth response gene 2 ( EGR2) is located at chromosome 10q21, one of the susceptibility loci in bipolar disorder (BD).
