 DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project studies risk and protective factors for the very high risk of schizophrenia in chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q), a disorder with a clear genetic etiology but with a complex and variable phenotype. It takes advantage of the unique nature of the 22q population, which has a genetically conferred high risk for schizophrenia yet also provides the rare opportunity for long range prospective developmental studies. Recognizing that, in a population where up to 30% of those affected will develop schizophrenia, 70% with chromosome 22q11.2 deletions do not, the proposed research studies the factors influencing psychosis risk and protection by taking a novel neurodevelopmental approach. It does so in a number of innovative ways that complement existing studies in 22q. Primarily, it asks how prevalent neurocognitive impairment in this disorder creates and interacts with stress and anxiety to affect risk for or protection against the development of psychosis-proneness, before the onset of schizophrenia. Psychosis-proneness will be measured with a novel combination of categorical and dimensional assays of attenuated psychotic symptoms that will be developed by leaders in the field. Our core hypothesis is that psychosis-proneness in 22q, as well as in idiopathic Sz, is developmentally modulated by several critical factors that interact to alter mental health outcomes. Primary is degree of neurocognitive deficit, particularly in executive function and attention. Impairment levels moderate degree of challenge and associated affective states. Cognitive-affective processes interact with variable stress reactivity which in turn, affects anxiety and adaptive function, further moderating the challenge that is experienced. Using a longitudinal cohort-sequential design, novel for 22q, we study how neurocognition, affect, stress and anxiety, interact to alter psychosis-proneness in 22q. We do so by examining the trajectory of a latent construct in individuals aged 12-21 years, each assessed 2-3 times during a 5 year period, to generate and test predictors of psychosis-proneness severity. Based on a model that links neurocognitive and affective processes to explain psychopathology, the proposed research combines cognitive performance and functional neuroimaging data using Event Related Potentials in emotionally "hot" and "cold" task variants with measures of stress hormones and anxiety and adaptive function. Along with structural and functional imaging of neural connectivity these measures provide the variables that will be subjected to factor analysis in order to create, from our latent "risk/protection" construct, specific predictors of degree of psychosis-proneness captured by our novel outcome measure. The relative weights of these predictors will indicate the power of each to identify specific domains of neurobiological functioning that can be further tested as biomarkers of risk and protection, for those with and without 22q. Those same domains will also be targets for identifying or developing validated, evidence-based therapies that can further reduce risk for psychosis.

 描述（由申请人提供）：本项目研究染色体22q11.2缺失综合征（22 q）中精神分裂症极高风险的风险和保护因素，这是一种具有明确遗传病因但具有复杂多变表型的疾病。它利用了22 q人群的独特性质，该人群具有遗传赋予的精神分裂症高风险，但也为长期前瞻性发育研究提供了难得的机会。认识到，在一个受影响的人群中，高达30%的人会患上精神分裂症，70%的染色体22q11.2缺失不会，拟议的研究通过采取新的神经发育方法研究影响精神病风险和保护的因素。它以许多创新的方式来补充22 q中的现有研究。首先，它询问了在精神分裂症发作之前，这种疾病中普遍存在的神经认知障碍如何产生并与压力和焦虑相互作用，以影响精神病倾向发展的风险或保护。精神病倾向性将被衡量与一种新的组合的分类和维度的分析衰减精神病症状，将开发的领导人在该领域。我们的核心假设是，精神病倾向在22 q，以及在特发性Sz，是由几个相互作用，以改变心理健康结果的关键因素的发展调制。主要是神经认知缺陷的程度，特别是 执行功能和注意力。损伤水平中等程度的挑战和相关的情感状态。认知情感过程与可变的压力反应相互作用，进而影响焦虑和适应功能，进一步缓和所经历的挑战。采用纵向队列序列设计，新颖的22 q，我们研究神经认知，情感，压力和焦虑，如何相互作用，改变精神病倾向的22 q。我们通过检查12-21岁个体的潜在结构的轨迹来做到这一点，每个人在5年期间评估2-3次，以生成和测试精神病倾向严重程度的预测因子。基于将神经认知和情感过程联系起来以解释精神病理学的模型，所提出的研究将认知表现和功能性神经成像数据结合起来，使用事件相关电位在情感上的“热”和“冷”任务变量中测量压力激素和焦虑以及适应功能。沿着神经连接的结构和功能成像，这些测量提供了将进行因素分析的变量，以便从我们潜在的“风险/保护”结构中创建由我们的新结果测量捕获的精神病倾向程度的特定预测因子。这些预测因子的相对权重将表明每个预测因子识别神经生物学功能的特定领域的能力，这些领域可以作为风险和保护的生物标志物进行进一步测试，对于那些有和没有22 q的人。这些领域也将成为识别或开发有效的循证疗法的目标，这些疗法可以进一步降低精神病的风险。
