Objective: To report on a patient with childhood-onset psychosis at age 12 with a known WNT10A mutation.
Methods: Case report.
Results: The patient is a 12-year-old male who presented with an acute onset of psychosis in the context of a known WNT10A mutation.
Conclusion: 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.

Brain and Mind Centre, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSWAustralia.
Background: Functional impairment is a major concern among those presenting to youth mental health services and can have a profound impact on long-term outcomes. Early recognition and prevention for those at risk of functional impairment is essential to guide effective youth mental health care. Yet, identifying those at risk is challenging and impacts the appropriate allocation of indicated prevention and early intervention strategies.

Background: Psychiatric disorders (PDs) are common among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Brain-gut dysfunction and psychotropic medications may have adverse effects on postoperative outcomes in patients with IBD. This study aimed to evaluate the association between PD and outcomes after surgery for IBD.

Article Synopsis
- Multiple Complex Developmental Disorder (MCDD) is a condition that affects various areas of development and could be seen as lying between autism and childhood-onset schizophrenia, but interest in it has decreased over time.
- This study systematically reviewed literature on MCDD to evaluate its current significance, finding only 16 relevant studies that varied widely in methodology and focus.
- The analysis revealed that children with MCDD tended to experience more paranoia and psychotic symptoms compared to those with autism, highlighting a potential diagnostic gap that warrants further investigation.
Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes and subsequent adult psychiatric disorders: a nationwide cohort and genome-wide Mendelian randomization study.

Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Childhood-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with substantial psychiatric morbidity in later life, but it remains unknown whether these associations are due to common underlying biological mechanisms or the impacts of living with the condition and its treatment. Here, using Czech national register data, we identified children with T1D aged ≤14 years between 1994 and 2007 and estimated the risk of psychiatric disorders up to 24 years later. We found that children diagnosed with T1D had an elevated risk of developing substance use, mood, anxiety and personality disorders, and behavioral syndromes.

Multiple recurrent copy number variants (CNVs) increase risk for SSDs; however, how known risk CNVs and broader genome-wide CNVs influence clinical variability is unclear. The current study examined associations between borderline intellectual functioning or childhood-onset psychosis, known risk CNVs, and burden of deletions affecting genes in 18 previously validated neurodevelopmental gene-sets in 618 SSD individuals.
