Under meta-analysis this site, or one or more in linkage disequilibrium with it, appears to contribute a small increase to the relative risk of schizophrenia. In this study, 768 bp of the 5H-leader region of DRD3 mRNA was screened for polymorphisms to assess their contribution to the association of DRD3 with schizophrenia. A cluster of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was identi®ed in tight linkage disequilibrium with each other and with the Ser9Gly polymorphism. One of the 5H-leader SNPs encodes a Lys9Glu variant within a 36 amino acid residue stretch of an upstream open reading frame (uORF). Two common haplotypes are found in the population examined; one is linked to the Ser9 coding variant and the other to the Gly9 variant. A panel of 73 schizophrenic patients and 56 matched controls recruited from the East Anglia region of the United Kingdom was screened for disease association at these sites.
Since the 5H-leader and coding sites are in tight disequilibrium, the combined genotype of all 4 sites was scored for each patient. A signi®cant association was seen between disease and the frequency distribution of these genotypes (x2 ˆ 13:19, d:f: ˆ 3, P ˆ 0:0042; Cochran method for sparse cells applied). A 20% excess of one of the heterozygous genotypes, in which the sequences differ at three of the four SNPs, including Ser9/Gly9 in the receptor and Lys9/Glu9 in the uORF, was found in the patient group. An absence of association of disease with the Ser9Gly polymorphism had previously been reported for this panel. This suggests that these SNPs and the corresponding coding changes may exert a combined or synergistic effect on susceptibility to schizophrenia. q 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

In all the above studies, it is the frequency of the two variant types of receptor gene that have been assessed in cases and controls, whereas the important factor may be the level of receptor protein production. This is determined by upstream regulatory elements, both in the promoter and in the 5H-leader. To address this problem, we have sequenced 768 bp of the 5H-upstream region of human DRD3. Reverse transcription PCR (RT PCR) of this upstream region, using polyA1 mRNA from human adult brain, demonstrated that the 768 bp stretch is situated in the 5H-leader region of the mRNA. This region was then screened for polymorphisms using both single stranded conformation polymorphism Fig. 1. Sequence of the 5H-leader of DRD3 mRNA together with (SSCP) and sequencing analysis.
