  4. 2. Biomarkers of suicide risk in psychosis

    Author : Andreas Carlborg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Gender; CSF; 5-HIAA; HVA; psychosis; survival; schizophrenia; suicide; suicide attempt; long-term follow-up; early death; KYNA;

    Abstract : Suicide and attempted suicide are major health problems. Approximately 1400 people die from suicide every year in Sweden and ten times more attempt suicide. Patients with schizophrenia spectrum psychosis have an increased risk of suicide and suicide rates have been suggested to be as high as 10%. READ MORE

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; season of birth; CSF monoamine metabolites; suicide method; borderline;

    Abstract : Background: Several neuropsychiatrie disorders have shown season of birth associations. Low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) levels of the serotonin metabolite 5-HIAA and the dopamine metabolite HVA have been associated with suicidal behaviour, impulsivity, and aggression. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular genetic studies on cerebrospinal fluid monoamine metabolites in psychotic patients and healthy individuals

    Author : Dimitrios Andreou; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cerebrospinal fluid CSF ;

    Abstract : Dopamine, serotonin and noradrenaline are the major monoamines in the human central nervous system (CNS) and following their basic pathways they are degraded to their major metabolites homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG), respectively. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of the three monoamine metabolites (MM) are considered to reflect the monoamine turnover rates in the CNS, are under genetic influence and have been associated with schizophrenia.
