Obsessive-compulsive disorder related human genetic variation found November 06, 2017 Source: Xinhuanet A genetic paper published online by the British journal Nature Communications recently reported that scientists have successfully identified human genetic variants associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and found genes and neural pathways that are affected by these mutations. Isolation and characterization of these genes will help us understand the biology behind this disease and build effective treatment options. People often say they are troubled by obsessive-compulsive disorder However, the etiology of obsessive-compulsive disorder is complex and inconclusive, but it is highly heritable. This debilitating neuropsychiatric disease is also closely related to personality psychological factors and imbalance of neurotransmitter secretion in the brain, mainly manifested by invasive thinking and time-consuming repetitive behavior. Statistics in recent years show that the incidence of obsessive-compulsive disorder is rising, and more than 80 million people worldwide suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, most of whom are unable to get rid of existing treatment. Previous studies of humans, mice, and dogs have also pointed out some variants that may be associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, but the exact genes and mutations have not been identified in humans. This time, the team of scientists at the Harvard-MIT Bode Institute in the United States successfully identified four genes closely related to obsessive-compulsive disorder in human cases by analyzing the sequencing data of 608 candidate genes. These genes play a role in the neural pathways associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder, including serotonin and glutamate signaling and synaptic connections – which are likely to be potential drug targets.
