Abstract
Neuropsychiatric disorders are mainly concerned with the behavioural, emotional and cognition symptoms that may be due to disturbed cerebral functions or extracerebral disease. Klotho protein is an antiaging protein that is mostly associated with cognitive changes in these disorders and thus this meta-analysis is conducted in order to find Klotho proteins association with these disorders. We searched related topics in pubmed, by using the key word i.e. Klotho and related disorder from neuropsychiatry e.g. Klotho levels and schizophrenia, Klotho levels and parkinsonism etc. Total 82 studies were found till 9th February 2021 after extensive search and 10 studies were selected for further analysis. The meta-analysis of studies was performed using the Random effect model. The forest plot represented each study in the meta-analysis, so as to make the comparison of SMD value across studies. The meta-analysis outcome demonstrated that overall schizophrenia had higher klotho levels as compared with bipolar disorder, psychosocial stress, parkinsonism, multiple sclerosis, depression, Alzheimer’s disease, and healthy controls, followed by MS. The meta-analysis also found that bipolar disorder and Alzheimer’s disease were associated with low klotho levels as compared to schizophrenia. The results indicate a significant association of the klotho levels and schizophrenia. Further studies are needed to characterize the potential biological roles of klotho levels in psychiatric disorders.
