Literature on relationship between CACNA1C and cognition in BD and SZ.

Publication Subjects Cognitive tests Results: CACNA1C & cognition SNP, rs#
(Cosgrove et al., 2017) 157 healthy
557 broad psychosis
409 SZ/SZA
SWM (CANTAB)
In replication studies:
MATRICS working memory (Cardiff)
N-back, DS (WAIS), SS (WAIS) (Germany)
  • -

    Associated with increased errors on CANTAB

  • -

    Association in same direction within diagnostic groups (broad, narrow, HC), but was nonsignificant in HC

  • -

    No association for verbal working memory

  • -

    In replication analyses in two other samples: Cardiff (no association for working memory, but was associated with verbal memory), Germany (main effect for n-back, but not for digit/spatial span)

2007044
(Rolstad et al., 2016) 104 healthy
114 BD
TMT number sequencing (D-KEFS), Digit Symbol coding (WAIS-III), CDT, RCFT recall, DS (WAIS-III), LNS (WAIS-III), RCFT copy, BD (WAIS-III), Similarities (WAIS-III), Verbal Fluency Test (D-KEFS), Color-Word Interference (D-KEFS), Design Fluency (D-KEFS), Tower Test (D-KEFS), CPT
  • -

    No significant associations were found between CACNA1C and any cognitive domains or IQ

(Soeiro-de-Souza et al., 2013) 96 healthy
109 BD
LNS (WAIS-III), DS (WAIS-III), TMT, and WCST
  • -

    No influence of CACNA1C on cognition in HC

1006737
(Hori et al., 2012) 1132 healthy
552 SZ
Japanese versions of WMS-R, WAIS-R, and WCST
  • -

    Genotype was marginally significant for logical memory for SZ patients but not HC

1006737
(Zhang et al., 2012) 401 healthy
318 SZ
74 BP
Chinese versions of WAIS-R, N-back, DPX
  • -

    Healthy and SZ: Risk allele associated w impaired working memory (1-back, Bx condition of the DPX task)

1006737
(Thimm et al., 2011) 82 healthy ANT
  • -

    Risk homozygotes impaired in Alerting and Orienting

1006737
(Krug et al., 2010) 63 healthy men Semantic verbal fluency
  • -

    Risk carriers performed worse than non-carriers on semantic fluency tasks with abnormal activation patterns on fMRI

1006737
(Roussos et al., 2013) 530 healthy men CANTAB
  • -

    No genotype effect on sensorimotor gating or CANTAB

1006737
(Erk et al., n.d.) 110 healthy 3 consecutive memory test (encoding, recall, and recognition),VIQ (MWT-B), -RAVLT
  • -

    Risk carriers exhibit reduction of ACC and bilateral hippocampal activation during episodic memory

1006737
(Bigos et al., 2010) 440 healthy
282 SZ
  • -

    Emotional memory, N-back

Risk carriers had increased activity in hippocampus during emotion processing and in PFC during N-back 1006737
(Splawski et al., 2005) 5 children CELF, GFTA, NEPSY
  • -

    Timothy Syndrome with CaV1.2 missense mutation (G406R).

  • -

    -All children showed developmental delays consistent with language, motor, and generalized cognitive impairment.
