| Title | Early deviant behaviour as a dimension trait and endophenotype in schizophrenia | |
| Creator | Roos, Johannes L. Kotzé, Carla | |
| Description | Background: In psychiatry, there is still a lack of objective biological diagnostic measurements. It is important to investigate measurements or symptom dimensions that can inform diagnostic assessments and allow for a more personalised approach to patients.Aim: To discuss how early deviant behaviour (EDB) may be seen as a possible continuous symptom dimension trait and endophenotype in schizophrenia.Methods: Conducting a commentary review by highlighting some important findings from available literature.Results: Findings regarding EDB in schizophrenia in a South African genetic sample point towards EDB as a progressive subtype of schizophrenia, with very early onset of illness (even prior to the psychotic symptomatology) and a genetic form of illness.Conclusion: Valuable information can be gained by enquiring into EDB and viewing it as a continuous symptom dimension trait and endophenotype during the psychiatric diagnostic interview. | |
