El síndrome 22q11.2D S como un subtipo genético de esquizofrenia

It is important in clinical practice to remember that people suffering the 22q11.2 DS have a high genetic risk for developing schizophrenia, and it is considered that the simultaneous presence of this disease and 22q11.2 DS represents a genetic subtype of schizophrenia. There are clear phenotypic criteria, molecular and cytogenetic methods to diagnose this group of patients, and to optimize a multidisciplinary approach in their monitoring.
