Medication consists of antipsychotics: the conventional ones addressing basic symptoms and the new generation ones addressing the whole range of signs and in some cases, antidepressant medication is used as well. 90005 03 Apr, 2015.90000 A new genetic marker for schizophrenia — ScienceDaily 90001 90002 Schizophrenia is a complicated disease that often appears in early adulthood. Although scientists have not traced the genetic causes, more than 80% of schizophrenia cases are considered to have a hereditary cause. In a new report published in 90003 Translational Psychiatry 90004, Japanese researchers report that a rare genetic variant, RTN4R, may have a fundamental role in the disease. 90005 90002 «Schizophrenia is a disease caused by disturbances in neural circuits.Myelin-related genes are associated with the disease, «explains Osaka University Professor Toshihide Yamashita, one of the authors of the studies. 90005 90002 Myelin acts as a conductor of signals for the neural circuits. Yamashita hypothesized that myelin-related genes could contribute to the pathology of schizophrenia. 90005 90002 RTN4R is a subunit of RTN4, which regulates crucial functions for neural circuits, namely, axon regeneration and structural plasticity. 90005 90002 Moreover, «RTN4 is a promising candidate gene for schizophrenia because it is located at chromosome 22q11.2, a hotspot for schizophrenia, «he said. 90005 90002 Rare variants describe mutations that have low frequency but a large effect. Yamashita and his colleagues searched for rare variants of RTN4. Screening the DNA of 370 schizophrenia patients, he found a single missense mutation, R292H, that changed the amino acid of this protein from arginine to histidine in two patients. 90005 90002 R292H is located in the domain of RTN4R that binds to ligands, so a change in even a single amino acid could have profound effects on RTN4 function.To test this possibility, the scientists expressed the mutation in chick retinal cells, which only weakly express the gene, finding a significant change in myelin-dependent axonal behavior. Computer simulations showed that the mutation reduced the interaction between RTN4 and its partner protein, LINGO1, by increasing the distance between the two. 90005 90002 Yamashita is convinced that rare variants could act as risk factors for schizophrenia. 90005 90002 «There is growing evidence that rare variants contribute to neurodevelopment diseases.The R292H mutation was not found in any existing databases. Our findings strengthen the evidence that rare variants could contribute to schizophrenia, «he said. 90005 90002 90023 Story Source: 90024 90005 90002 Materials provided by 90023 Osaka University 90024. 90003 Note: Content may be edited for style and length. 90004 90005 .90000 What Do You Want to Know About Schizophrenia? 90001 90002 Schizophrenia is a chronic psychiatric disorder. People with this disorder experience distortions of reality, often experiencing delusions or hallucinations. 90003 90002 Although exact estimates are difficulty to obtain, it’s estimated to affect about 1 percent of the population. 90003 90002 Misconceptions about this disorder are common. For example, some people think it creates a «split personality.» In fact, schizophrenia and split personality — properly termed dissociative identity disorder — are two different disorders.90003 90002 Schizophrenia can occur in men and women of all ages. Men often develop symptoms in their late teens or early 20s. Women tend to show signs in their late 20s and early 30s. Here’s what you need to know. 90003 90002 Symptoms of schizophrenia may include the following: 90003 90012 Early symptoms 90013 90002 Symptoms of this disorder commonly show up in the teenage years and early 20s. At these ages, the earliest signs may get overlooked because of typical adolescent behaviors. 90003 90002 Early symptoms include: 90003 90018 90019 isolating oneself from friends and family 90020 90019 changing friends or social groups 90020 90019 a change in focus and concentration 90020 90019 sleep problems 90020 90019 irritability and agitation 90020 90019 difficulties with schoolwork, or poor academic performance 90020 90031 90012 Positive symptoms 90013 90002 «Positive» symptoms of schizophrenia are behaviors that are not typical in otherwise healthy individuals.These behaviors include: 90003 90018 90019 90038 Hallucinations. 90039 Hallucinations are experiences that appear real but are created by your mind. They include seeing things, hearing voices, or smelling things others around you do not experience. 90020 90019 90038 Delusions. 90039 A delusion occurs when you believe something despite evidence or facts to the contrary. 90020 90019 90038 Thought disorders. 90039 These are unusual ways of thinking or processing information. 90020 90019 90038 Movement disorders.90039 These include agitated body movements or strange postures. 90020 90031 90012 Negative symptoms 90013 90002 Negative symptoms of schizophrenia interrupt a person’s typical emotions, behaviors, and abilities. These symptoms include: 90003 90018 90019 disorganized thinking or speech, where the person changes topics rapidly when speaking or uses made-up words or phrases 90020 90019 trouble controlling impulses 90020 90019 odd emotional responses to situations 90020 90019 a lack of emotion or expressions 90020 90019 loss of interest or excitement for life 90020 90019 social isolation 90020 90019 trouble experiencing pleasure 90020 90019 difficulty beginning or following through with plans 90020 90019 difficulty completing normal everyday activities 90020 90031 90012 Cognitive symptoms 90013 90002 Cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia are sometimes subtle and may be difficult to detect.However, the disorder can affect memory and thinking. 90003 90002 These symptoms include: 90003 90018 90019 disorganized thinking, such as trouble focusing or paying attention 90020 90019 poor «executive functioning,» or understanding information and using it to make decisions 90020 90019 problems learning information and using it 90020 90019 lack of insight or being unaware of their symptoms 90020 90031 90002 Symptoms of schizophrenia can be difficult to detect. Learn more about all the possible signs of the disorder that may make recognizing them easier.90003 90002 The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown. Medical researchers believe several factors can contribute, including: 90003 90018 90019 biological 90020 90019 genetic 90020 90019 environmental 90020 90031 90002 Recent studies have suggested that imaging tests completed on people with schizophrenia may show abnormalities in certain brain structures. Ongoing research in this area continues. Chemical abnormalities in the brain are believed to be responsible for many of the symptoms seen in schizophrenia.90003 90002 Researchers also believe low levels of certain brain chemicals that affect emotions and behavior may contribute to this psychiatric disorder. 90003 90002 Genetics may also play a role. People with a family history of schizophrenia have a higher risk of developing this disorder. 90003 90002 Other risk factors for schizophrenia may include: 90003 90018 90019 exposure to toxins or a virus before birth or during infancy 90020 90019 having an inflammatory or an autoimmune disease 90020 90019 using mind-altering drugs 90020 90019 high stress levels 90020 90031 90002 Schizophrenia was once divided into five subtypes.In 2013, the subtypes were eliminated. Today, schizophrenia is one diagnosis. 90003 90002 The names of the individual types help doctors and healthcare providers plan treatments. However, they no longer are used as a clinical diagnosis. 90003 90002 These types included: 90003 90018 90019 90038 Paranoid. 90039 In 2013, doctors decided that paranoia is a «positive» symptom of the disorder, not a separate type. 90020 90019 90038 Hebephrenic or disorganized. 90039 This type was diagnosed in people who did not experience hallucinations or delusions but did have disorganized speech or behaviors.90020 90019 90038 Undifferentiated. 90039 Doctors diagnosed people with this subtype who showed more than one type of predominant symptom. 90020 90019 90038 Residual. 90039 If someone was diagnosed with schizophrenia early in their life but did not show symptoms later, this subtype might have been used for them. 90020 90019 90038 Catatonic. 90039 As the name suggests, this subtype was diagnosed in people who showed signs of mutism or who developed a stupor-like affect. 90020 90031 90002 Though the subtypes are not used to diagnose schizophrenia any longer, you can read more about each one and the symptoms that classified them.90003 90002 There is not a single test to diagnose schizophrenia. A complete psychiatric exam can help your doctor make a diagnosis. You’ll need to see a psychiatrist or a mental health professional. 90003 90002 At your appointment, expect to answer questions about: 90003 90018 90019 your medical history 90020 90019 your mental health 90020 90019 your family medical history 90020 90031 90002 Your doctor may conduct the following: 90003 90002 Sometimes, there can be other reasons for your symptoms, even though they may be similar to those of schizophrenia.These reasons may include: 90003 90018 90019 substance use 90020 90019 certain medications 90020 90019 other mental illnesses 90020 90031 90002 Your doctor may diagnose schizophrenia if you’ve had at least two symptoms for a one-month period. These symptoms must include: 90003 90018 90019 hallucinations 90020 90019 delusions 90020 90019 disorganized speech 90020 90031 90002 There’s no cure for schizophrenia. If you’re diagnosed with this disorder, you’ll need lifelong treatment. Treatments can control or reduce the severity of symptoms.90003 90002 It’s important to get treatment from a psychiatrist or mental health professional who has experience treating people with this disorder. You may also work with a social worker or a case manager, too. 90003 90002 Possible treatments include the following: 90003 90012 Medications 90013 90002 Antipsychotic medication is the most common treatment for schizophrenia. Medication can help stop: 90003 90018 90019 hallucinations 90020 90019 delusions 90020 90019 symptoms of psychosis 90020 90031 90002 If psychosis occurs, you may be hospitalized and receive treatment under close medical supervision.90003 90012 Psychosocial intervention 90013 90002 Another treatment option for schizophrenia is psychosocial intervention.
