Despite significant advances on the discovery front of psychiatric genetics, the clinical value of these advances remains untested and unknown. A primary goal of our lab is to study how we can apply genetic findings to improve clinical care for mental illnesses.
Project 1: We are testing if knowing copy number variant(CNV) carrier status can influence schizophrenia care. After testing, positive results are relayed to the clinician/treatment team to assess clinical value i.e. if this knowledge improves clinical care.
