A missense mutation in a novel gene encoding a putative cation channel is associated with catatonic schizophrenia in a large pedigree. (1/23)
Schizophrenia is a common and etiologically heterogeneous disorder. Although inheritance of schizophrenic syndromes is complex with genetic and environmental factors contributing to the clinical phenotype, periodic catatonia, a familial subtype of catatonic schizophrenia, appears to be transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner. We report here that a Leu309Met mutation in WKL1, a positional candidate gene on chromosome 22q13.33 encoding a putative non-selective cation channel expressed exclusively in brain, co-segregates with periodic catatonia in an extended pedigree. Structural analyses revealed that this missense mutation results in conformational changes of the mutant protein. Our results not only underscore the importance of genetic mechanisms in the etiology of schizophrenic syndromes, but also provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis and incapacitating course of catatonic schizophrenia and related disorders.

The gene encoding the neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor alpha7 subunit (CHRNA7) is located on chromosome 15q13.2. This region was suggested to be involved in the etiopathogenesis of: (a) schizophrenia combined with a neurophysiological deficit; (b) lithium-responsive bipolar disorder; and (c) familial catatonic schizophrenia (periodic catatonia). Therefore, members of a large family with periodic catatonia strongly supporting the chromosome 15q13-22 region were genotyped with polymorphic markers localized around the CHRNA7 locus. A recombination event distally of marker D15S144 leading to the exclusion of the CHRNA7 locus from this candidate region was detected in one branch of the pedigree. This result provides strong evidence that a gene located telomeric to CHRNA7 is causative for the pathogenesis of catatonic schizophrenia in this family.

Recently, a Leu309Met mutation in WKL1 (MLC1, KIAA0027), a gene mapped to chromosome 22q13.33, was reported to co-segregate with periodic catatonia, a clinical sub-type of schizophrenia, in seven members of an extended pedigree.(1) WKL1 encodes a putative membrane protein expressed exclusively in the brain, particularly in the amygdala, nucleus caudatus, thalamus, and hippocampus.(1) We screened WKL1 for etiologic mutations in 28 probands from the United States who were given a consensus diagnosis of schizophrenia and met at least one of these criteria: (1) were from multiplex schizophrenia families where at least two schizophrenic subjects were reported to display catatonic behavior at sometime during the course of their illness; or (2) were from multiplex schizophrenia families where, in a genome scan for schizophrenia susceptibility loci, evidence for excess allele sharing among affected family members for markers in the 22q13 region was seen. In addition, 15 affected subjects from 15 German pedigrees were similarly screened for causative mutations. This German cohort exhibited the catatonia phenotype but had ambiguous linkage to 22q13 and included the mutation-positive proband as a positive control. The 43 probands were screened for base changes in WKL1: 15 SNPs in the non-coding regions of the gene, three SNPs in the 3'UTR, four synonymous coding SNPs and two non-synonymous (amino acid changing) SNPs were identified. We were able to rapidly confirm the Leu309Met nucleotide change in the positive control. No missense mutations were detected in any of the other 42 probands studied. These data exclude the role of WKL1 in schizophrenia susceptibility in the subjects studied. (+info)Diagnostic criteria in schizophrenia: accentuate the positive. (4/23)
In a recent article, Andreasen and Flaum (Schizophrenia Bulletin, Vol. 17, No. 1, 1991) argued that greater emphasis should be placed on negative symptoms in the diagnosis of schizophrenia, leading to a less important role for positive symptoms. This article presents a counter-argument to this view. Positive symptoms are common and reliable and therefore highly useful diagnostically. First-rank symptoms, although not specific to schizophrenia, show good discriminability. No other type of symptom or investigative method can make such claims to usefulness. Although positive symptoms do not predict outcome, this is not a necessary function of diagnostic criteria. The predictive power of negative symptoms is, in any case, based largely on studies of patients with chronic disorder. Premorbidly impaired social development may interact with schizophrenia, worsening the prognosis. We believe positive symptoms have always been the essence of psychiatric disorder and should remain so. Increasing the diagnostic weight given to negative symptoms risks restricting the definition of schizophrenia excessively.

BACKGROUND: Periodic catatonia is a familial subtype of schizophrenia characterized by hyperkinetic and akinetic episodes, followed by a catatonic residual syndrome. The phenotype has been evaluated in two independent genome-wide linkage scans with evidence for a major locus on chromosome 15q15, and a second independent locus on chromosome 22qtel. METHODS: In the positional and brain-expressed candidate genes KIAA0767 and KIAA1646, we searched for variants in the complete exons and adjacent splice-junctions as well as in parts of the 5'- and 3'-untranslated regions by means of a systematic mutation screening in individuals from chromosome 22q-linked pedigrees. RESULTS: The mutation scan revealed 24 single nucleotide polymorphisms, among them two rare codon variants (KIAA0767: S159I; KIAA1646: V338G). However, both were neither found segregating with the disease in the respective pedigree nor found at a significant frequency in a case-control association sample. CONCLUSION: Starting from linkage signals at chromosome22qtel in periodic catatonia, we screened two positional brain-expressed candidate genes for genetic variation. Our study excludes genetic variations in the coding and putative promoter regions of KIAA0767 and KIAA1646 as causative factors for periodic catatonia.

(+info)Catatonic Schizophrenia is a subtype of Schizophrenia characterized by severe psychomotor disturbances such as stupor (reduced reaction to stimuli), mutism (inability to speak), negativism (resistance to instructions or movements), posturing (assuming and maintaining unusual poses), rigidity, agitation, or excitation. These symptoms can lead to significant impairment in daily functioning and quality of life. It is important to note that this subtype is less commonly used in current psychiatric classification systems, as the focus has shifted towards a more comprehensive description of symptom dimensions that cut across traditional diagnostic categories.
Catatonia is a state of neurogenic motor immobility and behavioral abnormality manifested by stupor, mutism, negativism, rigidity, posturing, stereotypy, agitation, or Grimmacing. It can be a symptom associated with various neurological and mental disorders, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or brain injury. Catatonic symptoms can also occur as a side effect of certain medications.
The diagnosis of catatonia is typically made based on the observation of characteristic clinical symptoms and the exclusion of other potential causes through medical evaluation. Treatment for catatonia may include medication, such as benzodiazepines or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), depending on the underlying cause and severity of the symptoms.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental disorder characterized by disturbances in thought, perception, emotion, and behavior. It often includes hallucinations (usually hearing voices), delusions, paranoia, and disorganized speech and behavior. The onset of symptoms typically occurs in late adolescence or early adulthood. Schizophrenia is a complex, chronic condition that requires ongoing treatment and management. It significantly impairs social and occupational functioning, and it's often associated with reduced life expectancy due to comorbid medical conditions. The exact causes of schizophrenia are not fully understood, but research suggests that genetic, environmental, and neurodevelopmental factors play a role in its development.
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a medical treatment most commonly used in cases of severe or treatment-resistant major depression, bipolar disorder, and catatonia. In ECT, a brief electrical current is passed through the brain, intentionally triggering a seizure. The purpose and specific effects of this procedure are not fully understood, but it's believed to cause changes in brain chemistry that can help relieve symptoms of certain mental health conditions.
The treatment is typically administered under general anesthesia and is usually given two to three times a week for a total of six to twelve treatments. While ECT has been associated with certain risks, such as memory loss and confusion, it is generally considered safe when performed by trained medical professionals. It's important to note that ECT should only be used in cases where other treatment options have been exhausted or have proven ineffective.
"Paternal age" is a term used to describe the age of a father at the time of conception. It is often considered in relation to the potential impact on genetic health and the risk of certain genetic conditions in offspring. As a father's age increases, there is a higher chance of mutations occurring during the formation of sperm cells, which can potentially lead to an increased risk of certain genetic disorders such as Apert syndrome, Crouzon syndrome, and Schinzel-Giedion midface retraction syndrome. However, it is important to note that while the risk does increase with paternal age, the overall likelihood remains relatively low.
I must clarify that there is no such thing as "Schizophrenic Psychology." The term schizophrenia is used to describe a specific and serious mental disorder that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It's important not to use the term casually or inaccurately, as it can perpetuate stigma and misunderstanding about the condition.
Schizophrenia is characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations (hearing or seeing things that aren't there), delusions (false beliefs that are not based on reality), disorganized speech, and grossly disorganized or catatonic behavior. These symptoms can impair a person's ability to function in daily life, maintain relationships, and experience emotions appropriately.
If you have any questions related to mental health conditions or psychology, I would be happy to provide accurate information and definitions.
Paranoid Schizophrenia is a subtype of Schizophrenia, which is a chronic and severe mental disorder. It is characterized by the presence of prominent delusions and auditory hallucinations. The delusions in paranoid schizophrenia often involve themes of persecution or grandiosity. Individuals with this subtype usually have a clear sense of self and maintain relatively well-preserved cognitive functions and affect. However, their symptoms can significantly impact their ability to function in daily life, social relationships, and vocational activities. It's important to note that schizophrenia is a complex disorder, and its diagnosis should be made by a qualified mental health professional based on a comprehensive evaluation of the individual's symptoms, history, and mental status examination.
Antipsychotic agents are a class of medications used to manage and treat psychosis, which includes symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, paranoia, disordered thought processes, and agitated behavior. These drugs work by blocking the action of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain that is believed to play a role in the development of psychotic symptoms. Antipsychotics can be broadly divided into two categories: first-generation antipsychotics (also known as typical antipsychotics) and second-generation antipsychotics (also known as atypical antipsychotics).
First-generation antipsychotics, such as chlorpromazine, haloperidol, and fluphenazine, were developed in the 1950s and have been widely used for several decades. They are generally effective in reducing positive symptoms of psychosis (such as hallucinations and delusions) but can cause significant side effects, including extrapyramidal symptoms (EPS), such as rigidity, tremors, and involuntary movements, as well as weight gain, sedation, and orthostatic hypotension.
Second-generation antipsychotics, such as clozapine, risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, and aripiprazole, were developed more recently and are considered to have a more favorable side effect profile than first-generation antipsychotics. They are generally effective in reducing both positive and negative symptoms of psychosis (such as apathy, anhedonia, and social withdrawal) and cause fewer EPS. However, they can still cause significant weight gain, metabolic disturbances, and sedation.
Antipsychotic agents are used to treat various psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, delusional disorder, and other conditions that involve psychosis or agitation. They can be administered orally, intramuscularly, or via long-acting injectable formulations. The choice of antipsychotic agent depends on the individual patient's needs, preferences, and response to treatment, as well as the potential for side effects. Regular monitoring of patients taking antipsychotics is essential to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
