1 Psychosis genes? Next generation genetics in clinical psychiatry Anna C Need Imperial College London

2 Overview Are there genetic variants that cause* psychosis? Can we test for them in the clinic? Can we use this information to help treat patients?

3 How could a genetic diagnosis be used to help patients? Could identify a treatable (curable) illness! Can help guide drug choice seizure threshold obesity Genetic testing and monitoring of family members Specific educational support recommendations Applications for educational support Help understand why guil prevent dangerous alternative treatments

4 Patient Power Patients (or their parents) with a specific genetic diagnosis can connect through social media Get better prognosis Support each other emotionally Share treatment experiences Discuss symptoms Provide insight that clinicians with limited exposure to very small numbers of cases cannot

5 Mendelian vs. Complex Autosomal dominant Autosomal Recessive X-linked Recessive X-linked domainant Mitochondrial Multiple genetic contributors Strong environmental effects Gene-gene interactions Gene-environmental interactions

6 Mendelian Forms of Complex Brain Disorders Alzheimer s: PSEN1, PSEN2, APP. Parkinsons: SNCA, Parkin, PINK1... Epilepsy: LGI1, CHRNA4, KCNQ3...

7 Mendelian Forms of Schizophrenia? (no) 1. CNVs and psychosis 2. Genes and psychosis 3. Mendelian disorders that cause psychosis 4. The 100,000 genomes project 5. Our diagnostic sequencing pilot

8 Copy Number Variants (CNVs) (Thanks to the Autism Reading Room, the Figure)

9 22q11: Velo-cardio-facial syndrome hypoparathyroidism Underdeveloped thymus or absent thymus, which results in problems in the immune system heart defects cleft lip and/or palate Approx 1/3 VCFS patients develop schizophrenia Approximately 1% of patients with schizophrenia have 22qDS. The schizophrenia in 22qDS is indistinguishable by symptoms, treatment response, neurocognitive profile, or MRI brain anomalies.

10 Similarly Grayton et al., 2012 doi: /j.pneurobio

11 CNVs Clinical genetics services screen entire genome (all chromosomes at once) and report back pathogenic variants Could be genetically diagnosing several percent of schizophrenia cases already with clinical genetic analysis

20 I would know if my patient had that! (Variable penetrance/ expressivity) Genome-first approach has shown that, like CNVs, Mendelian disorders much more variable than previously thought May present with subset of classic symptoms (or entirely new symptoms) Some may present with just psychosis!

30 Genetic Research into Childhood In collaboration with Onset Psychosis Primary Objective To determine if next generation sequencing can lead to clinically relevant genetic diagnosis in child psychiatry. Secondary Objective 1. To identify candidate genes that are relevant to the more common adult onset forms of the disorder. 2. To establish a database of patients with childhood onset psychosis and their family members that are willing to be contacted about other studies that will help us to understand the etiology, expression and course of childhood onset psychosis.

32 Interesting? Sleep disorders Two have siblings who have undergone gender reassignment

33 Conclusions Are there genetic variants that cause psychosis? Yes, there are likely to be hundreds (at least) Can we test for them in the clinic? CNVs can be identified with existing genetics services Sequence variants soon Can we use this information to help treat patients? I ll tell you next year!
