Marfan Syndrome (MFS), a disease of microfibril dysfunction, has been associated with schizophrenia in multiple case reports.
We present one case and review the literature that suggests these conditions may share a common etiologic pathway.
A possible underlying mechanism of both schizophrenia and MFS is the abnormal expression of growth factors and signaling cascades.
MFS patients should be monitored for psychiatric symptoms and patients with signs of MFS should be referred for appropriate medical care. Also, by understanding shared mechanisms, we may develop better understanding and treatments.
马凡综合征(MFS)是一种微纤维功能障碍疾病,在多项病例报告中与精神分裂症有关。
我们报告了一例病例,并回顾了文献,表明这些情况可能存在共同的病因途径。
精神分裂症和 MFS 的一个可能潜在机制是生长因子和信号级联的异常表达。
应监测 MFS 患者的精神症状,有 MFS 迹象的患者应转介接受适当的医疗护理。此外,通过了解共同的机制,我们可能会更好地理解和治疗这些疾病。
