Neurocognitive Endophenotypes : an update on the field
6 The endophenotype construct, initially formulated by Lewis and Gottesman in the 1960s, referred to an indicator of vulnerability, not necessarily expressed as a clinical marker of status. However, this subclinical marker was established in the phenotype as a component that co-segregated with the genetic disease background. The endophenotype not only determined both potential and differentiate...
متن کاملEndophenotypes for Alcohol Use Disorder: An Update on the Field.
The endophenotype concept was first proposed as a strategy to use (purportedly) genetically simpler phenotypes in gene identification studies for psychiatric disorders, and is distinct from the closely related concept of intermediate phenotypes. In the area of alcohol use disorder (AUD) research, two candidate endophenotypes have produced replicable genetic associations: level of response to al...
متن کاملThe Consortium on the Genetics of Schizophrenia: neurocognitive endophenotypes.
The Consortium on the Genetics of Schizophrenia (COGS) is a 7-site collaboration that examines the genetic architecture of quantitative endophenotypes in families with schizophrenia. Here we review the background and rationale for selecting neurocognitive tasks as endophenotypic measures in genetic studies. Criteria are outlined for the potential of measures as endophenotypic vulnerability mark...
متن کاملNeurocognitive endophenotypes of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Endophenotypes (intermediate phenotypes) are objective, heritable, quantitative traits hypothesized to represent genetic risk for polygenic disorders at more biologically tractable levels than distal behavioural and clinical phenotypes. It is theorized that endophenotype models of disease will help to clarify both diagnostic classification and aetiological understanding of complex brain disorde...
متن کاملAn Update on Neurocognitive Impairment in Schizophrenia and Depression
Despite the considerable research that has been devoted to schizophrenia and depression over the last years, the understanding of the biological bases of these disabling disorders is still fragmentary. Adoption-, twin-and family studies, provide clear evidence of strong genetic components to these mental disorders, although multiple loci are likely to be involved. The effect of pharmacological ...
