Genetic Disorders That Confer Risk for the Development of Psychosis and White Matter Hyperintensities on T2-weighted Imaging: A Practical Guide for Psychiatrists.

MCMark Ainsley Colijn

Key Points

  • Psychosis is influenced by specific genetic disorders that may also lead to white matter hyperintensities.
  • Key evidence shows that certain genetic factors frequently co-occur with clinical symptoms in affected individuals.
  • Assessment includes the identification of genetic disorders and their associated imaging characteristics in a clinical setting.
  • Understanding these connections may enhance clinical practice, highlighting the need for genetic awareness in psychiatry.

Abstract

While psychiatrists are not expected to be experts in this area, at a minimum they should have a basic familiarity with the genetic disorders that are most likely to cause both psychosis and white matter hyperintensities, given the relatively frequent occurrence of this clinical scenario.
