Case Report of Childhood-Onset Psychosis in a Patient with a Known WNT10A Mutation

Published in:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6863571/

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.

Keywords: childhood-onset, schizophrenia, WNT10A
