Abstract
Given the literature on the role of T cells and in particular of Th17 cells and IL-17 in hippocampus development, cognition and behavior, these results support the hypothesis for a role of Th17 cells in the development and/or regulation of psychotic symptoms in 22q11.2DS. This pilot study underlines the importance to further study the role of T-cell defects and of Th17 cells in the development of psychiatric symptoms. It also supports the possibility to use 22q11.2DS as a model to study T-cell involvement in the development of SSD.
