A biochip was developed to examine the polymorphisms of genes associated with schizophrenia risk, including DISC1, RELN, ZNF804A, PLXNA2, COMT, SLC18A1, CACNA1C, ANK2, TPH1, PLAA, and SNAP-25. Allele and genotype frequencies of the genes were determined in 198 schizophrenics and 192healthy subjects from Bashkortostan (ethnic Russians and Tatars). The frequencies of allele A (p = 0.007) and genotype AA (p = 0.002) of the rs2270641 A>C polymorphism of SLC18A1 in the patients with paranoid schizophrenia was lower than in the healthy subjects. The frequency of genotype AA of the rs1800532 C>A polymorphism of TPH1 in the schizophrenics was higher than in the healthy subjects (p = 0.036). Compared with the healthy subjects, the ethnic Tatar patients with paranoid schizophrenia had a lower frequency of allele C of the rs7341475 C>T polymorphism of RELN (p = 0.039) and a higher frequency of genotype AA of the rs1800532 C>A polymorphism of TPH1 (p = 0.019, OR = 2.52, CI 1.18-5.38). The frequency of allele C (p = 0.0001) and genotype GC (p = 0.0001) of the rs1327175 G>C polymorphism of PLXNA2 was elevated in the patients with a family history of paranoid schizophrenia. Based on the results, the SLC18A1, TPH1, and RELN polymorphisms were associated with risk of schizophrenia.
