Disrupted in Schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) is a gene whose mutant truncation is associated with major psychiatric illness with a predominance of schizophrenic symptomatology. DISC1 has been shown to interact with multiple proteins of the centrosome and cytoskeletal system including MIPT3, MAP1A and NUDEL; proteins that localize receptor to membranes, including ACTN2 and beta-4-spectrin; and proteins that transducer signals from membrane receptors. This gene encodes a protein with multiple coiled coil motifs which is located in the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The protein is involved in neurite outgrowth and cortical development through its interaction with other proteins. This gene is disrupted in a t(1;11)(q42.1;q14.3) translocation which segregates with schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders in a large Scottish family. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
