Please RT - we are looking for a postdoc in neuropsychiatric genomics here @MaynoothBiology with @AutismTCD - wgs data to keep you busy, funding for training and support to apply for own funding - apply before 22 July. @psych_engage @Aims2Trials @MinddsAction @TrinSeqNGS

Thanks to this article by C. Foley et al., (co-authored by @lgallagh_louise @drjameswalters...), we now have a rationale to test CNVs in patients with #schizophrenia and presenting neurodevelopmental features!

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

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

Excellent session in the #WCPG2019 about the diagnostic genetic testing of adults with neuropsychiatric disorders with @dhledbetter @brenda_finucane @dmorenodeluca @psych_engage @clesemartin
- clear benefits of testing the patients
- 91% agree
- why waiting?

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

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!

Franziska Degenhardt advertises the European COST Action "Enhancing Psychiatric Genetic Counselling, Testing, and Training in Europe" @psych_engage in #WCPG2019.

She announces that a satellite meeting of the network will be attached to the #WCPG2020

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

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

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

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

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

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

In case you still have a doubt, @jonathan_flint1 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

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

In #WCPG2019 @Janos__Kalman presents the impact of different polygenic risk scores on the age of onset of #bipolar disorder. A work involving @PGCgenetics @Prof_TGSchulze @mcquillin9

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

In #WCPG2019 @mcquillin9 is presenting the sub-phenotype analyses of bipolar disorder using the data from @PGCgenetics: schizophrenia-PRS is higher in bipolar disorder with psychotic features, depression-PRS correlates with the number of depressive episodes

Summary of my recent discovery in childhood-onset #schizophrenia and discussion about the interest of the rare diseases approach in @AtlasOfScience. I also introduce the genetic statement of the @ISPGnet and the European Network @psych_engage

@psych_engage workshop in Oxford about ethical issues in Psychiatric Genetic Counselling and Testing #geneticcounselling #genetictesting #psychiatry @COSTprogramme

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

No clinical utility of the polygenic risk score of #schizophrenia for clinical practice yet but an important research field @psych_engage @ECNPtweets #ECNP2019

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

Michael O’Donovan is delivering a plenary lecture in #ECNP2019 and summarizes the genetic architecture of #schizophrenia: polymorphisms, CNVs and SNVs. Thanks @ECNPtweets for increasing the awareness of genetic factors beyond psychiatric disorders! @psych_engage @PGCgenetics

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

Roos Van Westrhenen from @ParnassiaGroep 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 @psych_engage #pgx

[Boris Chaumette @BorisChaumette]

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