Detail Info
Sample Status |
For each disease group, the corresponding control group was selected based on the sex, age, and ethnicity of the patients |
Technique |
genotyped using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method |
Statistical Method |
Pearson’s X2 test was applied to test the significance of genotype distribution and allele frequency between patient and control groups. Odds ratio with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was estimated, and P value of less than 0.05 (two-tailed) was considered to be significant. The Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium test was performed using Fisher’s exact test. |
Result Summary |
Significant association was observed between rs12456492 and two disorders, PD and ET, whereas rs16976358 was found to be associated with autism, SCZ, and BPD. Our findings are indicative of differential association between the RIT2 SNPs and different neurological disorders. |

The genotype distribution and allele frequencies were significantly different in rs16976358 between normal controls and patients with autism, SCZ, and BPD. The association of rs16976358 with autism,SCZ,and BPD was also significant under additive and recessive models.
