Childhood-onset schizophrenia (COS) is a rare form of schizophrenia with an onset prior to 13 years of age. Although genetic factors play a role in COS etiology, only a few causal variants have been reported to date. This study presents a diagnostic exome sequencing (ES) in 37 Israeli Jewish families with a proband diagnosed with COS.

Genomic regions subject to purifying selection are more likely to carry disease-causing mutations than regions not under selection. Cross species conservation is often used to identify such regions but with limited resolution to detect selection on short evolutionary timescales such as that occurring in only one species. In contrast, genetic intolerance looks for depletion of variation relative to expectation within a species, allowing species-specific features to be identified.

Schizophrenia has a multifactorial etiology, involving a polygenic architecture. The potential benefit of whole genome sequencing (WGS) in schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders is not well studied. We investigated the yield of clinical WGS analysis in 251 families with a proband diagnosed with schizophrenia (N = 190), schizoaffective disorder (N = 49), or other conditions involving psychosis (N = 48).

Background: The protein encoded by GmRLK18-1 (Glyma_18_02680 on chromosome 18) was a receptor like kinase (RLK) encoded within the soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) Rhg1/Rfs2 locus.
