Imaging and Genetic Biomarkers Predicting Transition to Psychosis

Abstract

The search for diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in schizophrenia care and treatment is the focus of many within the research community. Longitudinal cohorts of patients presenting at elevated genetic and clinical risk have provided a wealth of data that has informed our understanding of the development of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders.Imaging follow-up of high-risk cohorts has demonstrated changes in cerebral grey matter of those that eventually transition to schizophrenia that predate the onset of symptoms and evolve over the course of illness. Longitudinal follow-up studies demonstrate that observed grey matter changes can be employed to differentiate those who will transition to schizophrenia from those who will not prior to the onset of the disorder.In recent years our understanding of the genetic makeup of schizophrenia has advanced significantly. The development of modern analysis techniques offers researchers the ability to objectively quantify genetic risk; these have been successfully applied within a high-risk paradigm to assist in differentiating between high-risk individuals who will subsequently become unwell and those who will not.This chapter will discuss the application of imaging and genetic biomarkers within high-risk groups to predict future transition to schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. We aim to provide an overview of current approaches focussing on grey matter changes that are predictive of future transition to illness, the developing field of genetic risk scores and other methods being developed to aid clinicians in diagnosis and prognosis.
