Chinese scholar finds that exchanges the sense gene in leprosy and schizophrenia
Issued to the scientist of our country and found two important scientific findings that leprosy and schizophrenia exchanged the sense gene online continuously a few days ago in " natural heredity ". The completion of these two achievements mainly relies on related research platform and biological information analytical technique of the whole genome of the key laboratory of dermatosis of Ministry of Education of medical university of Anhui. Leprosy infringes skin and peripheral nerve and causes limb disabling and odd-shaped serious complicatedness disease after infecting for the bacillus of leprosy. In 2009, Anhui medical university Professor Zhang XueJun will cooperate with a good fortune benevolence researcher of academy of medical sciences of Shandong, utilize the whole genome related to discover 7 pieces of leprosy exchange sense gene, and find its pathogenic genetic function thorough fare, it is the related research of the whole genome of first infectious disease in the world. The research results prove it is easy to be perceptual that leprosy has heredity, this achievement is published on " medical magazine of New England ". This year, Zhang FuRen continues and strengthens sample quantity on this basis, learns military affairs with Anhui medical university one, Professor Liu Jianjun cooperates closely, find two new exchanging the sense genetic IL23R and RAB32 of leprosy again, this is the largest related research of the whole genome of leprosy in the world at present, the prevention and treating of leprosy has great meanings, marking leprosy of our country exchanges the gene studies of the sense and continues occupying the world-lead level. Schizophrenia is by basic individual character, thinking, emotion, behavioral division, spiritual activity and environment incongruous for main one most common psychosis of characteristic, endanger the human physical and mental health seriously. Research group which research group and Zhang XueJun that the mental hygiene Professor Mount Tai of research institute and southern research center yellow Professor Wei of national human genome in Peking University headed head Research of exchanging the sense gene to schizophrenia together. This research, through being concerned with studying to the patient of nearly 12000 and the whole genome contrasted normally, have found on chromosome of the 11th that exchanges the sense genetic TSPAN18 in a new schizophrenia, proved that already there is the lying in exchanging the sense gene on the chromosome of the 6th of a report abroad previously at the same time, indicate that exchanges the gene studies of the sense and ranks among the advanced ranks of the world in schizophrenia of our country.
