Genetic and epidemiological evidence has suggested that genetic factors are important in schizophrenia, although its pathophysiology is poorly understood. This study used whole-exome sequencing to investigate potential novel schizophrenia-causing genes in a Japanese family containing several members affected by severe or treatment-resistant schizophrenia. A missense variant, chr12:132064747C>T (rs200626129, P2805L), in the E1A-binding protein P400 (EP400) gene completely segregated with schizophrenia in this family. Furthermore, numerous other EP400 mutations were identified in the targeted sequencing of a schizophrenia patient cohort. We also created two lines of Ep400 gene-edited mice, which had anxiety-like behaviours and reduced axon diameters. Our findings suggest that rs200626129 in EP400 is likely to cause schizophrenia in this Japanese family, and may lead to a better understanding and treatment of schizophrenia.

A unique missense variant in the E1A-binding protein P400 gene is implicated in schizophrenia by whole-exome sequencing and mutant mouse models
