Abstract
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness, which began in late adolescence or early adult life. Although exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown, but studies have shown that genetic, environmental factors, and their interactions affect the development of the disease. Previous studies invistigated the genetic factors and environmental effects on the incidence of schizophrenia. Scientists identify candidate genes for schizophrenia which are called COMT. The gene encoding the catechol –omethyltransferase enzyme is involved in the metabolism of neurotransmitters catecholamines such as dopamine. This gene is located on chromosome 22 q11.21. This study invistigated the correlation between rs165599 polymorphism in the COMT gene and schizophrenia among the population of Yasuj city. To investigate the polymorphism gene 5 ml of blood from 100 patients and 100 healthy donors were drawn in EDTA tubes. Then, the DNA was extracted from the samples using PCR-RFLP techniques, it was genotype. The difference between the two groups of patients and the controls group were compared using Chi square test. All analyzes were performed using SPSS software. signification results were observed in the COMT gene and Schizophrenia rs165599 SNP.
