Abstract Objective: To investigate the changes of mRNA expression level of zinc finger and SCAN domain containing 12 (ZSCAN12) in peripheral blood of first-episode schizophrenia (SCZ). Methods: For our study we selected 17 individuals who had a first episode of SCZ and were hospitalized in the Affiliated Mental Hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2024 to June 2024; we measured the mRNA expression level of ZSCAN12 in peripheral lymphocytes by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (Q-PCR) method in the study group and compared it to a control group consisting of 15 healthy patients. Results: There was no significant difference in the expression of ZSCAN12 mRNA in peripheral blood lymphocytes of SCZ patients and healthy controls (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The expression of ZSCAN12 mRNA was not significantly abnormal in SCZ patients in this study.
