Endophenotypes: Bridging Genomic Complexity and Disorder HeterogeneityEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
As will be familiar to most readers of this journal, endophenotypes are relatively well-specified physiological or behavioral measures that are considered to occupy the terrain between disease symptoms and risk genotypes. The endophenotype concept has been an enduring feature in psychiatry for nearly 40 years, since its introduction in the classic monograph by Gottesman and Shields (). However, endophenotypes have enjoyed accelerating popularity in recent years due to their potential associations with genomic data to provide a way forward for parsing complex, heterogeneous disease phenotypes such as schizophrenia. Several ...

In this review, Tam et al. (pages 1005–1012) discuss the recent progress in the detection and interpretation of copy number variations in schizophrenia. These previously unknown deletions and duplications in the genome of schizophrenia patients have begun to provide insight into the underlying susceptibility genetic factors, biological pathways and genetic architecture related to schizophrenia, and may continue to reveal information about other psychiatric disorders.

Autism: The Ups and Downs of NeuroliginEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The etiology of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), like many other neurodevelopmental disorders, has a significant contribution from genetic sources. Among the first genetic causes of ASD identified were a number of rare chromosomal disorders (). However, these conditions were not really considered causes of idiopathic, “mainstream” autism by many because most of these nonidiopathic disorders had dysmorphic features or other signs that were distinguishable from idiopathic autism. Also, like most other common medical conditions, ASD was presumed to be caused primarily by common genetic variation, under a model whereby a c...

Abnormalities in synapse formation have been described in post-mortem brain tissue from individuals with autism. Daoud et al. (pages 906–910) provide new evidence that a gene that codes for a protein that plays an important role in synapse formation, NLGN4X, is involved in the genetics of autism. They identified a de novo variation in the promotor region of NLGN4X that may be associated with autism. This mutation increased expression levels of the NLGN4X transcripts in a patient with autism and nonsyndromic profound mental retardation. This result provides further insight about the syndromes that might be associated with...

Epigenetics in Suicide and DepressionEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Underlying causes of major depressive disorder (MDD) remain an enigma. A major gain of uncovering mechanisms leading to this devastating disorder will be the prevention of suicide, the worst outcome of MDD. In the search to understand the neurobiology of MDD, several promising hypotheses have been formulated. These hypotheses are largely focused on alterations in monoaminergic neurotransmission, trophic factor signaling, neurogenesis, and glial development and transport. However, recent evidence may potentially bring together all of these hypotheses and offer a basis for understanding the complexity of MDD. This process in...

A new study of human brain tissue from suicide victims may provide insights into the neurobiology of suicide. Klempan et al. (pages 824–831) provide evidence for reduced QKI gene expression levels and levels of the QKI protein in the brains of suicide victims with major depression compared to controls, across multiple brain regions. No evidence of genetic or epigenetic changes in the vicinity of the QKI locus was identified. These alterations suggest that deficits in myelination-related pathways may underlie multiple psychiatric disorders. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

Found in Translation: Understanding Impulsivity and Related Constructs Through Integrative Preclinical and Clinical ResearchEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Addictions are among the most costly disorders, estimated at over $500 billion annually. The multidimensional construct of impulsivity has received increased attention recently as a potential endophenotype for addictions. As questions relating to how best to define and categorize addictions are being discussed in anticipation of DSM-V, a growing role for empirical, neurobiological understandings of addictions exists. Given that this process involves gathering, analyzing, and synthesizing data from multiple lines of investigation, the importance of translational, interdisciplinary research has never been greater.

Impulsivity is related to ventral striatal activation during reward anticipation in patients with alcohol dependence (AD). Beck et al.

These findings suggest that dysfunctional reward anticipation and heightened impulsivity are important features of AD. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

The Role of DNA Copy Number Variation in SchizophreniaEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Schizophrenia is a major psychiatric disease with strong evidence of genetic risk factors. Recent studies based on genome-wide study of copy number variations (CNVs) have detected novel recurrent submicroscopic copy number changes, including recurrent deletions at 1q21.11, 15q11.3, 15q13.3, and the recurrent CNV at the 2p16.3 neurexin 1 locus. These schizophrenia susceptibility CNV loci demonstrate that schizophrenia is, at least in part, genetic in origin and provide the basis for further investigation of mutations associated with the disease. The studies combined have also established the role of rare and—in sporadic c...

Childhood maltreatment in the United States was recently recognized as a major public health problem by several influential sources including the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine (). An extensive survey conducted by the National Incidence of Child Abuse and Neglect (NIS3) revealed that roughly 1.5 million children were abused or neglected in 1993. This number of documented cases most likely underestimates the true prevalence, given that many cases of maltreatment go unrecognized (). Moreover, according to the three available NIS reports, the incidence of childhood maltreatment has been steadily incre...

Reduced visual cortex gray matter volume was associated with duration of abuse prior to 12 years of age, and correlated with visual memory. (Source: Biological Psychiatry)

Background: Despite extensive early detection research in schizophrenic psychoses, methods for identifying at-risk individuals and predicting their transition to psychosis are still unreliable. Moreover, there are sparse data on long-term prediction. We therefore investigated long-term psychosis transition in individuals with an At Risk Mental State (ARMS) and examined the relative efficacy of clinical and neuropsychological status in optimizing the prediction of transition.Methods: Sixty-four individuals with ARMS for psychosis were identified from all referrals to our early detection clinic between March 1, 2000 and Febr...
