Wrong answer from the #ECNP2019 room to a question about psychiatric genetics... EnGagE Action: we still have some work to increase the knowledge of psychiatrists about genetics of autism!

Roos Van Westrhenen from Parnassia Groep presents the #pharmacogenetic taskforce from the Netherlands and the guideline implementation of pharmacogenetics in psychiatric clinical practice in her country in #ECNP2019. Glad to have her aboard in EnGagE Action #pgx

Michael O’Donovan is delivering a plenary lecture in #ECNP2019 and summarizes the genetic architecture of #schizophrenia: polymorphisms, CNVs and SNVs. Thanks ECNP for increasing the awareness of genetic factors beyond psychiatric disorders! EnGagE Action PGC Consortium

No clinical utility of the polygenic risk score of #schizophrenia for clinical practice yet but an important research field EnGagE Action ECNP #ECNP2019

Summary of my recent discovery in childhood-onset #schizophrenia and discussion about the interest of the rare diseases approach in Atlas of Science. I also introduce the genetic statement of the ISPG and the European Network EnGagE Action atlasofscience.org/discovery-of-n…

In case you still have a doubt, Jonathan Flint demonstrates in #WCPG2019 that major depressive disorder has genetic bases. Some of these bases are specific and some are shared with other disorders and with personality. #WCPG19

In #WCPG2019 @Janos__Kalman presents the impact of different polygenic risk scores on the age of onset of #bipolar disorder. A work involving PGC Consortium Prof. Thomas G. Schulze 🎗INDEPENDENT Libertarian Andrew McQuillin

In #WCPG2019 Andrew McQuillin is presenting the sub-phenotype analyses of bipolar disorder using the data from PGC Consortium: schizophrenia-PRS is higher in bipolar disorder with psychotic features, depression-PRS correlates with the number of depressive episodes

Christa Martin from Geisinger highlights the high level of identifiable genetic etiologies behind neurodevelopmental disorders. Genetics is already actionable in clinical practice! #WCPG2019

Franziska Degenhardt from EnGagE Action presents the genetic variants actionable in psychiatry. Prevention of somatic comorbidities, adaptation of the treatment, genetic counselling are now possible for CNV carriers. #WCPG2019

Dr. Franziska Degenhardt providing important updates on genetic testing & counselling as well as introducing the EnGagE Action project, offering two workshops in 2020. #wcpg2019

Franziska Degenhardt advertises the European COST Action "Enhancing Psychiatric Genetic Counselling, Testing, and Training in Europe" EnGagE Action in #WCPG2019. cost.eu/actions/CA1713… She announces that a satellite meeting of the network will be attached to the #WCPG2020

In #WCPG2019, @dmorenodeluca shows that only 3% of the psychiatric patients have had the standard of care in genetics. We definitively need to enhance the genetic testing in #psychiatry!

Excellent session in the #WCPG2019 about the diagnostic genetic testing of adults with neuropsychiatric disorders with David H Ledbetter (he/him) @brenda_finucane @dmorenodeluca EnGagE Action Christa Lese Martin - clear benefits of testing the patients - 91% agree - why waiting?

Next year, the #WCPG2020 will take place in Florence, Italy. We will attach a satellite workshop from the European network EnGagE Action on October 14-15, 2020. Save all the dates! #WCPG2019

Thanks to this article by C. Foley et al., (co-authored by Louise Gallagher James Walters...), we now have a rationale to test CNVs in patients with #schizophrenia and presenting neurodevelopmental features! EnGagE Action 22Q11 Ireland bit.ly/38Axo8j
