Mitochondrial function influences schizophrenia status in patients with genetic disorder

E-Mail Philadelphia, May 19, 2021 - A multidisciplinary team of researchers from Children s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) showed how the batteries of cells are highly implicated in whether patients with the chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome develop schizophrenia. The results of the study may eventually lead to targeted prevention and treatment strategies for patients with the condition. The findings were published today in JAMA Psychiatry. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q) is a chromosomal difference that occurs in approximately one out of every 2,000 births and is associated with varying degrees of medical issues affecting every system in the body, including the developing heart, immune system, palate, and brain. 22q is also associated with behavioral health challenges such as attention deficit hyperactive disorder, autism spectrum disorder and anxiety. These symptoms can be observed during chil

Researchers Demonstrate How Defects in Mitochondria May Lead to Autism Spectrum Disorder

Date Time Researchers Demonstrate How Defects in Mitochondria May Lead to Autism Spectrum Disorder Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) have demonstrated that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be caused by defects in the mitochondria of brain cells. The findings were published online by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Multiple studies have revealed hundreds of mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder, but there is no consensus as to how these genetic changes cause the condition. Biochemical and physiological analyses have suggested that deficiencies in mitochondria, the “batteries” of the cell that produce most of the body’s energy, might be a possible cause. Recent studies have shown that variants of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Autism Link to Mitochondrial Defects May Enable Future Metabolic Therapies

Autism Link to Mitochondrial Defects May Enable Future Metabolic Therapies February 2, 2021 Research in mice by scientists at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has demonstrated that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be caused by defects in the mitochondria of brain cells. Their findings point to the potential to develop metabolic therapies as a potential treatment strategy for at least some ASD patients. “Our study shows that mild systemic mitochondrial defects can result in autism spectrum disorder without causing apparent neuroanatomical defects,” noted Douglas C. Wallace, PhD, director of the Center for Mitochondrial and Epigenomic Medicine and the Michael and Charles Barnett endowed chair in pediatric mitochondrial medicine and metabolic diseases at CHOP. “These mutations appear to cause tissue-specific brain defects. While our findings warrant further study, there is reason to believe that this could lead to better diagnosis of autism and potentially treatme
