This medical PowerPoint presentation talks about Genetic basis for Schizophrenia, Bipolar 1 Disorder, Tourettes Disorder.
Schizophrenia, bipolar 1 disorder, and Tourettes disorder are complex psychiatric conditions that are likely caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. While the exact genetic basis for these disorders is not fully understood, research has identified several genetic variations that may play a role in their development.
Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that affects approximately 1% of the population. It is characterized by a range of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, disorganized thinking, and abnormal behavior. Genetic studies have identified several genes that may contribute to the development of schizophrenia, including the COMT gene, which is involved in dopamine metabolism, and the DISC1 gene, which is involved in brain development.
Bipolar 1 disorder, also known as manic-depressive illness, is a mood disorder characterized by episodes of mania and depression. Twin and family studies have suggested a strong genetic component to bipolar disorder, with estimates of heritability ranging from 60% to 80%. Several genes have been identified that may contribute to the development of bipolar disorder, including the CACNA1C gene, which is involved in calcium signaling in neurons, and the ANK3 gene, which is involved in ion channel regulation.
Tourettes disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations called tics. Twin studies have suggested a strong genetic component to Tourettes disorder, with estimates of heritability ranging from 50% to 77%. Several genes have been identified that may contribute to the development of Tourettes disorder, including the SLITRK1 gene, which is involved in the development of the nervous system, and the HDC gene, which is involved in the production of histamine.
It is important to note that while these genetic variations have been identified, they are not deterministic, and other factors such as environmental influences may also contribute to the development of these disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the genetic basis of these conditions and develop effective treatments.

Slide 1-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia, Bipolar 1 Disorder, Tourette’s Disorder By Dr. Osama Soliman MBBch, M.Sc., M.D. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 1
Slide 3-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia We knew the genetic basis of schizophrenia through: 1) The risk for schizophrenia in GP is 1% only. 2) Genetic studies indicated that: a- a person is likely to have schiz. when other family members have the illness. b- the likelihood of a person having schiz, is correlated with the closeness of the relationship, e.g., 1st 2nd degree relative. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 3
Slide 4-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia 3) The risk for schizophrenia in a 1st degree relative is higher; Non twin sib of a patient 8% Child of one ill parent 12% Child of both ill parents 40% 4) The risk for schizophrenia in twins is much higher; DZ twin of a patient 12% MZ twin of a patient 47% © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 4
Slide 5-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia 5) Adoption studies for MZ twins indicated that: a-twins reared by adoptive parents have schiz, at same rate as their twin sibs reared by their biological parents. b-this means the genetic influence outweighs the environmental influence. c-also, the more severe the schiz. Is, the more likely the twins become concordant for the disorder. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 5
Slide 6-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia Chromosomes implicated are Most common are: Long arms of chromosomes 5, 11, 18 & Short arms of chromosomes 19, X. Less common are: Loci on chromosomes 6, 8, 22. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 6
Slide 7-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia Why chromosome 11-long arm is important: 1- because schiz, can result from dopamine dys-regulation. 2- dopamine synthesis start by conversion of tyrosine to DOPA. 3- this conversion is catalyzed by tyrosine hydroxylase. 4- this enzyme is vital (rate-limiting enzyme). 5- this enzyme is controlled by a specific gene. 6- this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 11. 7- this is why tyrosine dietary variations does not affect dopamine. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 7
Slide 8-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia What is the gene for schizophrenia - Human behavior & traits are complex - They are controlled by multiple genes not a single gene. - e.g., are intelligence, personality, eye’s color, skin color. - So brain itself is controlled by many genes. - Some genes control brain development. - Others control brain functions. - Others control brain maintenance. - This is why many genes are implicated in schiz, etiology. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 8
Slide 9-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia Other genes for schizophrenia: - Patients have difficulty filtering auditory input to screen out Extraneous sounds. - Positional cloning detected locus on ch. 15 encoding α1-nicotinic acetylcholine receptor that accounts for the above abnormality in several pedigrees of schiz, patients. - This is why schiz, patients smoke to ↓ hallucinations. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 9
Slide 10-

Genetic basis for Schizophrenia Other genes for schizophrenia: -There is a –ve association between schiz, and rheumatoid arthritis(RA). - The HLA (human lymphocyte antigen)DRBI*04 allele is associated with marked reduction in risk for RA in schiz, pts. - The genes affected in schiz, does not give the disease but the vulnerability. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 10
Slide 12-

The evidence - There is data indicating significant genetic factor in the development of mood disorders. - The genetic component plays more significant role in transmitting bipolar-I disorder (BID) than major depression. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 12
Slide 13-

The evidence Family studies 1- studies repeatedly found that: 1st degree relatives of BID probands (1st ill subject in a family) are: 8-18 times more likely than 1st degree relatives of controls To have BID; 2-10 times more likely to have major depression. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 13
Slide 14-

The evidence Family studies 2- studies also found that: 1st degree relatives of major depressive disorder probands are; 1.5-2.5 times more likely to have BID than 1st degree relatives of normal control subjects; 2-3 times more likely to have MDD © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 14
Slide 15-

The evidence Family studies 3- the likelihood of having mood disorder ↓as the relationship widens: e.g., 2nd degree relative (cousin) is less likely be affected than a 1st degree relative (brother). 4- inheritability of mood disorders: 50% of all BID have at least one parent with a mood disorder (usually MDD). With 1 parent having BID, there is a chance of 25% having an ill child. With both parents ill, the chance ↑to 50-75%. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 15
Slide 16-

The evidence Adoption studies Studies indicated that: 1- Biological children of ill parents remain at increased risk of Having mood disorders, even if reared by healthy adoptive Families. 2- the prevalence of mood disorders in the adoptive parents Is similar to baseline prevalence in GP. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 16
Slide 17-

The evidence Twin studies For BID: Concordance rate in MZ twins 33-90% Concordance rate in DZ twins 5-25% For MDD: Concordance rate in MZ twins 50% Concordance rate in DZ twins 10-25% © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 17
Slide 18-

The evidence Linkage studies - Linkage study is the one trying to associate specific gene/gene Marker and certain disorder. - Associations between BID and genetic markers are found for chromosomes 5, 11, 18, X. - The D2 receptor gene is located on chromosome 5. - The tyrosine hydroxylase gene is located on chromosome 11. - In one study, markers on ch.18 were found in some families with bipolar disorder. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 18
Slide 19-

The evidence Linkage studies and psychiatry - Linkage has long been suggested between BID & region on chromosome X that contains genes for color blindness & Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, but… - Molecular genetics techniques led to contradictory results→ - Some studies find linkage, others do not. - This could mean, an X-linked gene is a factor in development of BID in some patients & families, but not in others. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 19
Slide 20-

The evidence Linkage studies and psychiatry - Same problem faced us with the association between BID & genetic markers on short arm of chromosome 11. - In 1987, an association was found as above in certain families. - but, once new family members became ill, the association ceased to exist. - What happened is that, the newly affected family members led to extension of the pedigree, leading to loss of the statistical association. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 20
Slide 22-

The evidence Twin studies Concordance rate is much higher in MZ twins than in DZ twins. Family studies -Tourette’s and chronic motor or vocal tic disorder are likely to occur in the same family, supporting the view that the disorders are part of a genetically determined spectrum. - Mothers with Tourette's have sons with higher risk for same illness. - The mode of transmission of Tourette's in some families is autosomal. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 22
Slide 23-

The evidence Family studies - Recent studies, suggested a bilinear mode of transmission; - Meaning, the disorder is inherited through autosomal pattern intermediate between dominant and recessive. - Genetic factors are present in about 75% of cases, with 25% presenting with bilinear transmission (both parents affected). - You can say that Inheritance: Autosomal dominant, with reduced penetrance. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 23

Suggested genes Comings, D. E. Blood serotonin and tryptophan in Tourette syndrome. Am. J. Med. Genet. 36: 418-430, 1990. [PubMed:2389798] 1-found significant decreases in the serotonin/platelet ratio and in blood tryptophan level in unmedicated patients with GTS. A comparable significant decrease was found in parents of GTS patients, and there was no difference between parents with and those without symptoms. From these findings, Comings (1990) suggested tryptophan oxygenase (TDO2; 191070) as a possible candidate gene. 2-The SLITRK1 gene on chromosome 13 is the first gene known to be associated with Tourette syndrome. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 24
Slide 25-

Suggested genes 3-In a new study, a family in which the father and all eight offspring (six sons and two daughters) have the syndrome. Extensive genetic detective work led them to a mutation in a gene called HDC, which encodes L-histidine decarboxylase, an enzyme involved in the production of histamine, a signaling molecule with a wide variety of roles throughout the body. The same mutation was present in all members of the family who had Tourette but was absent in thousands of DNA samples from control subjects, who included unrelated people with similar ethnic backgrounds as well as a group of 720 Tourette patients, The mutated version of the HDC gene likely results in a truncated version of the enzyme, which would result in reduced histamine levels, © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 25
Slide 26-

Conclusion - Currently, pedigrees are assembled for every main mental disorder and chromosomal linkage has been sought with the Tools of molecular genetics. But, - Even with a given straightforward mental disorder (Tourette) screening of almost all chromosomes has failed to identify specific genetic locus always inherited with the clinical behavior. - This means, each mental disorder is a “multigenetic trait”, i.e., under the combined influence of several genes. © to Dr. Osama Soliman 2011 26
