Abstract
Disfunction of immune system and neuroinflammation may play a role in pathogenesis of schizophrenia. The role of adaptive immune system has to be elucidated. We present a pilot study to test the methodology of profiling of immune repertoires of the TCR gamma chain by deep sequencing using several patients with juvenile schizophrenia and unaffected control subjects. The clonotype profiles were revealed and their diversity and presumable differences in structure of CDR3 TRG region of functional clones in juvenile schizophrenia and controls were estimated. This approach is perspective for further comprehensive study of changes in adaptive immune system in representative cohorts of patients with different forms of schizophrenia.
