SCZ (Schizophrenia) is common psychiatric and mentally disorder which display common genetic vulnerability. The α7 neuronal nicotinic receptor gene (CHRNA7) is located on chromosome 15q13-q14. There are many single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in exons, introns and promoter sites inside the CHRNA7 gene. The aim of this research was study of polymorphism CHRNA7 with the development of schizophrenia in Iranian population.
This case-control study included 100 patients with schizophrenia and 100 normal peoples as a control group were investigated. Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples. Genotypes were detected by using a PCR-RFLP method. Statistical analysis was done by using the SPSS software version 20.
Frequency of CC, TC, TT genotypes in patients group were 18% ,42% ,40% and in normal groups were 14%,45%,41%, respectively. Statistical analysis were showed that in the total sample (male and female), there was no significant association between CHRNA7 gene polymorphism with schizophrenia disease.
The presence of the T allele in CHRNA7 gene at rs904942 is not considered as a risk factor for schizophrenia. Therefore, further genetic studies with more SNPs and larger samples covering various populations, are needed.

Schizophrenia is a common mentaly disorder with high heritability and variable phenotype that they are placed in bipolar nervous disease family. Different genes are associated with this disease that among of them, DAOA gene plays a significant role. DAOA gene is located in the long arm of chromosome 13 and produces a protein called D-amino acid oxidase which is N - metyle D– aspartate (NMDA) receptor activator in the brain. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between DAOA gene polymorphisms and the risk of schizophrenia in Iranian population.
In this study, 100 patients with schizophrenia and 100 normal people as a control group were investigated. After genomic DNA extraction from blood samples, allele and genotype frequencies in patients and control group were determined by PCR-RFLP method. Data analysis was performed with Med Calc (ver 12) software.
Frequency of GG, GA, AA genotypes in patients group was 18%, 42%, 40% and in normal group was 14%, 45%, and 41%, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that there is a significant relationship between DAOA gene polymorphism with schizophrenia disease in the people under the age of 40.
According to the results of this study, the DAOA gene has significant association with schizophrenia in the Iranian population.
