1 Schizophrenia: Biology and Etiology Carlsson and Lindqvist 1963 Daniel R. Weinberger, M.D. Genes, Cognition and Psychosis Program National Institute of Mental Health, NIH Bethesda, Maryland USA Schizophrenia: The basics Schizophrenia is a serious, chronic disorder of cognition, perception, and comportment. Its onset is typically in early adulthood and it causes a lifetime of disability for most affected individuals. According to the World Health Organization, it is one of the ten most disabling illnesses of human beings. The estimated economic costs in the USA alone are in excess of 50 Billion Dollars/year. What is schizophrenia? Good Question!! Schizophrenia is a syndrome, i.e. a collection of phenomenological characteristics, likely comprised of multiple etiologies with a common clinical endpoint (e.g. like MR, autism, heart failure) The syndrome is somewhat mutable: Symptoms often appear and alter over time Considerable diversity of symptoms across patients
2 Schizophrenia: The essentials (ca ) Genes collectively account for most variance in risk Environmental adversity in early development accounts for a small increase in risk Abnormal function of frontal and temporal cortical circuitry is associated with being ill and with increased genetic risk of being ill Subtle abnormalities in neuronal architecture are associated with being ill Antidopaminergic drugs are therapeutic Cognitive deficits in first-episode patients vs. chronic patients 2.0 Meta-Analytic First Episode FSIQ Verbal Memory Visual Memory WCST Digit Span Trails A Trails B Block Design Vocabulary Fluency Effect Size (d) Motor Bilder RM, et al.

Nature Neuroscience. 2002;5: What causes schizophrenia?? Schizophrenia is largely heritable with an important environmental component Relative risk of developing schizophrenia * Mental Health: A Report of the Surgeon General (1999) health/home.html

6 Genes and Mental Illness: Why do we study them? Most risk for psychiatric illness is related to inheritance Genes transcend phenomenological diagnosis Genes represent mechanisms of disease Genes clarify the environment Genes identify at risk individuals Genes will help individualized treatment Genes identify biological pathways for development of new treatments Complex (i.e.multifactorial) disorders like mental illness are polygenic and genetically heterogeneous affected person unaffected nonpenetrant Goldman D, et al.

12 COMT affects cortical function N=126 healthy individuals p<.0001 Meyer-Lindenberg A, Weinberger DR. Nature Rev Neurosci. 2006;7: Why does COMT not have a more obvious at the behavioral level? Answer: maybe the environment matters! Genes interact with the environment to modify the expression of their individual effects. This can lead to exaggerated, compensated, or novel effects.

15 Chromosomal anomalies and schizophrenia: What do they tell us? So far, recurrent CNVs that are found with increased frequency in populations with the diagnosis of schizophrenia characterize about 2% of individuals with this diagnosis. None of these CNVs are specific for this diagnosis or even most commonly associated with this diagnosis. The most frequent association is mental deficiency. As with autism, there are multiple pathways to the diagnosis. Are psychotic individuals with these CNVs cases of schizophrenia? It is important to remember that schizophrenia is not something someone has. it is a diagnosis someone is given.

Genes tell us what the disorder is at a basic cellular level. The current evidence converges on subtle molecular bottlenecks in diverse aspects of synaptic processing and brain development. Many schizophrenia susceptibility genes, despite their diverse effects at the cellular level, impact on a common pattern of prefrontal cortical function, and most risk alleles are associated with relatively less efficient engagement of prefrontal circuitry (i.e. poorer STN), perhaps in part via altered DA signaling. Schizophrenia Biology and Genetics: Conclusions (Cont.) Rare cases with the diagnosis of schizophrenia have pathogenic structural chromosomal variations. The clinical application of gene discovery will require deep understanding of genetic variation, gene processing, molecular pathways, and the interacting environment.
