There has been increasing evidence that deranged superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities might be a risk factor for schizophrenia and/or tardive dyskinesia (TD). In the present study, we investigated the genetic association between a functional polymorphism (Ala-9Val) in the human manganese (Mn) SOD gene and schizophrenia or TD (192 schizophrenics: 39 with TD and 153 without TD; 141 controls). No significant differences in the allelic or genotypic distribution between schizophrenics and controls were observed. However, we did find a significant difference in genotypic distribution between schizophrenics with and those without TD (p =. 03). Moreover, decreased -9Ala (mutant) allele was found among patients with TD (p =.02; odds ratio = 0.29; 95% confidence interval = 0.10-0.83). In conjunction with previous findings of increased free radicals and decreased SOD activities in TD subjects, these results suggest that the -9Ala (high activity) MnSOD allele may play a role in protecting against susceptibility to TD in schizophrenics.
