To report on a patient with childhood-onset psychosis at age 12 with a known WNT10A mutation.
Case report.
The patient is a 12-year-old male who presented with an acute onset of psychosis in the context of a known WNT10A mutation.
WNT genes have only been previously linked to schizophrenia on a theoretical basis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of an association between a childhood-onset psychosis and a WNT10A mutation. We conclude that there is a possibility that WNT10A may be one of the many genes contributing to the development of childhood-onset schizophrenia.
报告一名12岁患有已知WNT10A突变的儿童期起病精神病患者。
病例报告。
该患者为一名12岁男性,在已知WNT10A突变的情况下急性起病精神病。
WNT基因此前仅在理论基础上与精神分裂症相关联。据我们所知,这是第一例关于儿童期起病精神病与WNT10A突变之间关联的病例报告。我们得出结论,WNT10A有可能是导致儿童期起病精神分裂症发生的众多基因之一。
