Steady progress in the field of psychiatric genetics, generating new and fascinating insight into the genetic and phenotypic complexity of schizophrenia and other serious mental illnesses, have created an increased need of psychiatric genetic counseling. It is a crucial aspect of psychiatric clinical practice to ensure a balanced approach that takes into consideration genetic and environmental risk factors and ongoing education in this rapidly developing field is essential. Genetic counseling will be increasingly important to assist patients with schizophrenia and their families to make a meaningful informed decision about genetic testing. It will preempt unrealistic expectations, discrimination and stigma related to incomplete understanding of genetic test results in the psychiatric context.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a genetic disorder that affects both primary and permanent teeth. It primarily manifests as developmental disorders of enamel. The condition occurs independently of other systemic disorders and is caused by mutations in genes responsible for enamel formation, inherited in autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or X-linked patterns.

Osteopetrosis is a group of genetically and clinically diverse inherited disorders characterized by an increase in bone density. The main known cause is an abnormality in the development or function of osteoclasts. Hence, the process of bone resorption is impaired, resulting in: 1- a reduction in bone marrow volume and, subsequently, a decrement in the hematopoietic capacity of bone marrow, which leads to anemia and compromised immunological function; 2- improper bone development, which leads to pressure on peripheral nerves, causing auditory, visual, and movement impairments; and 3- disturbance in the formation of bone microstructure that leads to susceptibility to bone fracture.
