    The underlying pathophysiology of primary polydipsia in schizophrenia (SCZ) is poorly understood. Our previous study, however, suggested that this condition may have a genetic component [Shinkai et al 2003 Am J Med Genet 119B 7-12]. Orexins, also called hypocretins, play an important role in feeding and drinking behavior. Administration of orexin in rats has been shown to induce increased water intake with a longer-lasting effect than angiotensin II, which is also known as a potent dipsogen. Meerabux et al. [2005 Biol Psychiatry 58 401-407] reported an association between the 408Val allele of the orexin 1 receptor (HCRTR1) gene and polydipsia-hyponatremia in a sample of Japanese patients with SCZ. In the present study, we attempted to replicate the findings of Meerabux et al. in an independent Japanese case-control sample. Our sample included 312 patients with SCZ (DSM-IV) (65 with polydipsia and 247 without polydipsia). We also observed an association between the HCRTR1 Ile408Val polymorphism and polydipsia (genotype distribution: chi(2) = 9.85, df = 2, P = 0.007). Meerabux et al. (2005) previously demonstrated an association between the 408Val allele of the HCRTR1 gene and polydipsia. In contrast with Meerabux et al. study, we found that the 408Ile allele was associated with polydipsia in our sample (chi(2) = 8.00, df = 1, P = 0.0047; OR = 0.53; 95%CI = 0.34-0.83). How either allele contributes to the development of polydipsia in SCZ is unclear at this stage. It is possible that Ile408Val polymorphism is a non-functional marker that lies in linkage disequilibrium with an as-yet undetected functional variant. In any case, our results support the hypothesis that the HCRTR1 Ile408Val polymorphism may confer susceptibility to polydipsia in SCZ. Further studies examining the association between the orexin system and polydipsia in SCZ are warranted.
