Methylation profile scores of environmental exposures and risk of relapse after a first episode of schizophrenia.

Both genetic and environmental factors have been found to play a significant role in psychosis relapse, either independently or through their synergistic interaction. Recently, DNA methylation (DNAm) has been proposed through the calculation of methylation profile scores (MPS). The aim of the presen...

description Both genetic and environmental factors have been found to play a significant role in psychosis relapse, either independently or through their synergistic interaction. Recently, DNA methylation (DNAm) has been proposed through the calculation of methylation profile scores (MPS). The aim of the present study is to evaluate the association of MPS as a surrogate marker of the biological impact of early stressful life events (including stressful intrauterine conditions and obstetric complications, childhood adversity and toxic habits), with the risk of schizophrenia (SCZ) relapse. 91 participants from a cohort of first-episode schizophrenia (FES) patients with less than five years of evolution were classified as non-relapse (patients who had not experienced a relapse after 3 years of enrollment) or relapse (patients who relapsed during the 3-year follow-up). As inclusion criteria, patients fulfilled Andreasen’s criteria of symptomatic remission. Genome-wide DNA methylation (DNAm) was profiled and fourteen MPS reflecting environmental exposure were constructed including both early stressful life events (including stressful intrauterine conditions and delivery issues, childhood adversity) and toxic habits. Increased levels of MPS reflecting gestational diabetes (p = 0.009), hypertensive disorders during pregnancy (p = 0.004), pre-eclampsia (p = 0.049), early preterm birth (p = 0.030), childhood adversity abuse (p = 0.021) and all childhood adversity (p = 0.030) were significantly associated with an increased risk of relapse. Our study suggests that changes in specific methylation patterns may represent one of the biological mechanisms linking early stressful life events to an increased risk of relapse.
